Ind Vs Pak Asia Cup 2025: People will remember the Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan not only for India’s convincing win, but also for a prize celebration that broke tradition and had nothing to do with the trophy itself. In a surprising turn of events, Pakistani Minister Mohsin Naqvi walked away with the cup, leaving the Indian team to celebrate their historic victory without the shining silverware. The incident quickly drew parallels with “Operation Sindoor,” where unexpected actions and outcomes turned into major talking points beyond the battlefield — in this case, beyond the cricket pitch.
Ind Vs Pak Asia Cup 2025: Ceremony is overshadowed by trophy drama
Mohsin Naqvi caused trouble when he stood up to give the winner’s trophy at the ceremony after the game. Concerns about protocol and past problems during the event made the Indian players and the BCCI delegation refuse to accept it. Naqvi shocked everyone by leaving the stage empty and walking off with the cup. Fans from all over the world stood still and watched history being made as India lifted their trophy instead of their trophy.
Fair Play Over Symbolism
Indian fans were more excited than Pakistan fans, even though Pakistan won the prize. The awkward moment changed into a celebration of teamwork as the players danced and shared the win with fans around the world. Memes, chants, and hashtags were all over social media to praise India’s resistance. A lot of people said that this stand changed a cricket win into a moral win.
BCCI will file a formal protest
The BCCI said it would officially file a protest with the tournament’s governing body. Their statement shows how important it is to follow fair rules at ceremonies and honour sporting customs. Officials made it clear that the problem wasn’t political, but rather about keeping the sport of international cricket honourable.
