India delivered a commanding performance against Pakistan in Dubai, securing a decisive six-wicket victory that carried more than just sporting significance. Batting first, Pakistan managed only 127 runs before being bowled out, with Kuldeep Yadav taking three wickets and Bumrah and Axar Patel claiming two each. India chased the target with ease, led by a solid unbeaten 47 from captain Suryakumar Yadav.The drama extended beyond the scoreboard. At the toss, Suryakumar Yadav refused to shake hands with the Pakistani captain, and after the match, Indian players walked away without customary handshakes. This symbolic gesture was aimed at protesting Pakistan’s continued support for terrorism, particularly in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack.Celebrations erupted across India as fans lit firecrackers, distributed sweets, and chanted Vande Mataram. Suryakumar Yadav dedicated the win to the Indian Army and victims of terrorism, declaring that “some things are above sportsmanship.”While Pakistan lodged a complaint with the Asian Cricket Council over the handshake snub, India remained unapologetic. The message was clear: professional cricket may continue, but gestures of goodwill will not be extended to a nation that harbors terror.
