Janhit: Cricket Becomes Combat, India’s Silent Protest Shakes Pakistan | ABP NEWS

In what many are calling “Operation Sindoor Part 2,” India delivered a stunning defeat to Pakistan on the cricket field during the Asia Cup T20 match in Dubai. Led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, Team India crushed Pakistan by seven wickets in a match that went far beyond sports. The victory was emotionally charged, as it was dedicated to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian armed forces. But the message didn’t end with runs and wickets. Suryakumar refused to shake hands with Pakistan’s captain during the toss, and the Indian team continued the silent protest by avoiding post-match handshakes. Even the dressing room celebrations remained exclusive, with no invitation extended to the rival team. The press conference that followed further clarified India’s stance, with Suryakumar stating the decision was deliberate and collective. Pakistan’s media and cricket board reacted sharply, filing complaints with the ICC and accusing India of politicizing the game. Still, many in India hailed the team’s action as a much-needed statement that cricket cannot be separated from national sentiment when emotions run deep. Operation Sindoor 2.0 proved that sometimes, the fiercest battles are won not with weapons—but with silence, pride, and purpose.
