IND vs PAK, Asia Cup 2025 Controversy Highlights: After Team India emerged victorious in a high-octane Asia Cup 2025 final, the team refused to collect the Asia Cup trophy and medals from the ACC chairman. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said that they won’t collect the trophy from a person who represents a country that is waging war against India. This, however, doesn’t mean that they walked away from the celebrations. Suryakumar Yadav-led team did celebrate after chasing down Pakistan’s total of 146 with five wickets in hand and two balls to spare.
