India vs Pakistan: The arch-rivals are crossing swords with each other in match six of the Asia Cup 2025. The game between the two teams is underway at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. 

What caught the attention of many was what happened at the toss of the India vs Pakistan game. Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav refused to shake hands with Pakistan captain Salman Agha. Both skippers of the teams refrained from shaking hands or acknowledging each other.

Pakistan captain Salman Agha won the toss and opted to field first. However, it was expected that both captains would interact. But that wasn’t the case as there was a lack of interaction between the two captains. This was visible even after they had a chat with presenter Ravi Shastri.

After winning the toss, Salman Agha said: “Going to bat first. We've been playing good cricket, very excited. Looks like a slow wicket. Just want to bat first and put runs on the board. Same side. Have been here for 20-odd days and are used to the conditions.”

On the other hand, the Indian captain said: We were looking to bowl first, happy with it. We played just one strip away, which was a nice wicket and better to bat on in the night. It's humid so hoping for some dew. Same team.
