Pakistan's forfeit has angered India more than Pakistan; why?

[Devadwal]

Some Jokers masquerading as cricket analysts are our version of you and Rajdeep.

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan isn’t protesting, isn’t playing victim, and isn’t demanding sympathy. It made a decision and will deal with the consequences.

The irony is that the side that always claimed this game was irrelevant seems far more emotionally invested now that Pakistan has stepped away.

You can’t call for boycotts for years and then complain when the other side does exactly that. Either this rivalry matters or it doesn’t. The reaction answers that question.

 

[Pakhs]

Ok keep the trophy , Trophy chor

You wont stop crying, Common habit of your nation.

Indians cannot comprehend that they got dumped on twice by two different teams.

It’s like the arrogant jerk guy who gets rejected twice by girls he thought he had easy chance with. “I have the money, I have the style, I have the car, the popularity so how dare two of them rejected me.” Then making mental gymnastics to keep them sane. “They are not as rich as me. They actually were ugly and I was doing favor on them.” Deep down knowing that you know what I should have said No to them.

It’s like the entire nation of India are confused, angered, in drunken state on what happened to them.

I don't think our official stance should have anything to do with BD because legally that will be difficult to argue. Ind will claim IPL is a domestic tournament and that they can do whatever they want there. Our focus should be on our own disrespect and precedents where teams boycotted to take a stand.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

India made a compromise and agreed to play Pakistan in Colombo. Now Pakistan is saying 'actually wait, we will not play only' just 10 days before the game. So that will make any team upset. PCB, its fans and cricketers maybe used to unprofessionalism and zalalat but other teams are professional.

India made no Compromise. Lets Just get that straight

India refused to travel to Pak for CT 2025 Citing inability to get permission from Govt on Security Ground. BCCI created a situation which ICC adressed by changing the CT 2025 to Hybrid model which PCB never wanted in first Place. ICC imposed its decision on Pak , It did nt initiate any independant Security assesment like it did for Bangladesh 2 weeks ago to deny them venue change. This is blatant bias and goes against principle of equity , Consistency anf Fairness that ICC press release mentioned yesterday ironically. This is double standard that PCB felt when BD was axed and BCCI was nt last year. PCB is well within its right to expose the double standards of ICC

Worse they decided to do all the handshake performative drama that still doesn’t make sense. If you decide to play, do it properly. If not, better boycott. Also dedicating wins to soldiers and all also doesn’t make sense. What if you lose a game?

PCB did what many Indians wanted BCCI to do.

All this talk about money on both sides is childish. No one is putting or taking away money from your (fans) pocket. Only thing is T20s will get more popular which one can dislike.

[Tera Gawaandi]

Answer to OP's question - it served as a reality check for fans, a blow to national pride.

Indian fans often over inflate the BCCI’s power and influence in world cricket. So, when a comparatively weaker board like the BCB or PCB shows some spine, fans perceive it as a sign of the BCCI’s weakness.

Deep down, Indian fans have gained a grudging respect for the PCB and BCB, since the BCCI never took a clear stance post Sindoor. But their ego is too big to admit it, so they are left coping and mourning.

Indian fans fully expected the BCCI to steamroll other boards, yet the situation unfolded differently.

One of the MPs in above video rightly questioned why India did not boycott Pakistan in the Asia Cup, while Sashi Tharoor admitted that India started this by sending Mustafizur Rahman back and India was the one mixing sports and politics in the first place.

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

I don’t fault other Indian fans if your board makes so much revenue you too would be boastful and assume influence over world cricket. But the reality is that the BCCI is run by poor administrators and marked by nepotism. They don’t care about principles. Long gone are the days of N. Srinivasan who would have out manoeuvred everyone. Clown Jay Shah runs the circus now.

Nothing wrong with having an influence but I feel like BCCI is overdoing it. For example, India generally get venue perks and scheduling perks during ICC events. These small things matter in a World Cup.

When England was controlling cricket, they didn't give England perks like this. Things were more balanced. They also didn't ruin cricket with overcommercialization and petty politics.

You couldn’t be more wrong lol. The first three ODI World Cups were held in England, and India and Pakistan had to fight hard politically to wrest hosting rights away from England for the first time in 1987. England didn’t just hand it over, the outcome marked a massive shift in cricket’s power structure. That’s exactly why Jagmohan Dalmiya is spoken of so highly.

As far as over-commercialization is concerned, it isn’t limited to cricket it’s visible in almost every sphere of life in every country.

You’re really just reminiscing about the old days. The BCCI didn’t initiate the Kerry Packer era.

After their opposition assembly made a statement, these indian posters cant deny that their is anger.

Even during the Asia Cup, we lost 3 times, but at the end of the day, the indian side made themselves look like idiots when they decided not to take the trophy from Naqvi. Because in return what Naqvi did was, he followed the rules and regulations, which was simple that if you are not willing to accept the trophy from the guy presenting it you dont get it.

The indian side never expected this, thats why they came out of their dressing rooms as they thought someone else would still hand them the trophy.

After not getting trophy and medals, the whole thing looked awkward and the Indian side really looked bad there. Bad in the sense that they won a tournament, but had no photo ops, and also the fact that a Cricket Board actually stood up to their shenanigans and they couldnt do anything.

We all heard about the powerful BCCI, yet during that 90 mins delay in post match ceremony, they couldnt have their way and looked bad on tv. Many posters here tried to play it down and went futher that the trophy would be with them by a week. Three months later, BCCI was still asking for it and they till date never received it.

It really made them look bad, and there was embarrassment that these guys had to bottle up. Funny thing is, no noc or money issue became for PCB like some of these guys claim

And than PCB pulls this off, and now the emotions are coming out. I said it back than, right now these guys are celebrating all this, but later when things fall apart, they will make Surya the scape goat for all the no handshake tamasha he started.

The fact that they won 3 games and are angry that why they played us is their bottled up emotions now spilling.

Right now with the opposition govt asking questions and indian public also talking about it, they are gonna try their best to either force Pakistan to show up. Make our captain come to the stadium or somehow switch groups in the last minute.

Further embarrassment is coming up, and that is that to claim a forfeited match, one team still needs to show up to the stadium. So if Indian team travels all the way to Sri Lanka, lands there, travels on the bus to the stadium with the captain showing up for the toss and than walking back, and the whole team returning back to India, they will get their 2 points and nrr boost, but the photo ops are gonna be very very ugly. India is gonna look very stupid, and people are gonna bash them.

We all saw how Surya cares about his image, so they will try to do face saving here. They will now try to shift themselves out of this group, if that doesnt work, they will than try to convince ICC that since pakistan is forfeiting we dont need to travel down to Sri lanka with out captain showing up.

This is where Naqvi played a master stroke, as he did not give anything in official, so that the indian side still comes to the ground for its two points.

Eventually what i think will happen is, these guys will also claim a boycott after some event happening in India and not show up to Sri lanka. This way, ICC will be forced to share the points between both sides, or maybe switch groups aswell.

Monday at 7:03 PM

Given the current chaos surrounding the 2026 T20 World Cup, your question is being echoed by many frustrated fans. We are seeing an unprecedented breakdown: Bangladesh has been replaced by Scotland after refusing to travel to India, and Pakistan has officially announced they will boycott their marquee match against India on February 15th while still playing the rest of the tournament in Sri Lanka.

Whether the tournament should be cancelled is a massive debate—on one hand, the "spirit of cricket" feels broken; on the other, millions in revenue and the dreams of 18 other nations are at...
