Will Indo Pak Cricket Relations and Relations between the Cricketers ever be the same after the Asia Cup Shenanigans?

[Savak]

I will be very disappointed if i ever see any Pakistani player ever try to butter up or suck up to an Indian player again given the blatant disrespect shown by the BCCI to the PCB, Ex and Current Indian players towards Pakistani Cricketers.

 

[Nabeel23]

Pretty sad to see the way it’s gone, the fixture has become too political and toxic, to be honest I blame both sides. Both acted childish and have only now made the situation worse. I am hoping they don’t play the Asia Cup at all and are separated in the ICC events until things improve.

 

[moghul]

BCCI is behaving like someone on drugs , no chance of recovery anytime soon. This new found money and power is hard for BCCI to digest. Somehow, this was not unexpected . " They" have been suppressed for centuries , now this new found freedom and power is not easy to handle for them. They have no one , but Pakistan to take the " revenge".

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Only PCB is not respected by BCCI. Rest of the boards have a great relationship with BCCI. Why does PCB and Pakistan deserve any sort of respect from Indians?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Only way things change is if the government changes in India.

Both boards and government are petty though and neither seem to care for diplomacy so I doubt anything changes for a long time.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Sky will retire next year. Time heals everything. Things might get back to normal in an year or so with new players and skipper.

It’s all for show. Seems to come from Gambo as he is a bit jingoistic.

Nothing wrong with that though.

Pakistan previously had decent relations with Indian players when kohli Rohit were playing. But they got a lot of flak for being too cosy with Pakistani players

That’s when we saw the 150/0 chase etc and they deservedly got humiliated for it.

I don’t want to see any of that crap ever again. So hostility is way better.

As long as no lines are crossed form both sides.

To answer your question the answer is no. It’s always going to be war on the pitch.

Lol at suppressed for centuries

By whom.

I guess you want cricket to be run by England again. They did the world so much good when they were the most powerful cricketing nation in the past

 

[GoogleToggle]

Long may it continue.
No need for pseudo bhaichara with people who are ready stab you in the back when you turn around

 

[light]

The only thing these two boards/players managed to do is become a laughing stock for rest of the world.

 

[saimayubera]

No.

I have seen a lot of older Pakistanis struggling to come to terms with the fact that India has become so aggressive, both on and off the field.

They are still stuck in their young days when India and Pak were peers in a way.

Fact is this:

India has had massive economic growth over last 25-30 years. Pak hasn't. India and Pakistan are no longer peers. The gap will only grow.

So Pakistan cannot expect India to treat it like a peer.

One thing I noticed about the Asia Cup was that all of the hoardings etc were either Indian or Arab (lesser) companies. The Third Umpire was Royal Stag, an Indian company. Billboards had Air India Express, Growww etc.

There were no Pakistani companies. The tri-series had Pakistani companies. They were too poor to have DRS.

That highlights the difference.

Also Indian boomers are relatively lighter on Pakistan because they grew up when the countries were similar and there were no terrorist activities (even if there was actual war). Younger Indian generations have only known a poorer Pakistan and have only seen Pakistan humiliated in cricket. This generation is filled with disdain for Pakistan. In 20-25 years when they come to power in a much much stronger India, then it will be even more difficult for Pakistan.

Relations don't have to be good.
All we need to do is work on improving our cricket

 

[BreadPakoda]

After Abrar and Rana’s social media posts, I doubt even Rohit or Kohli would have remained friendly on the field. Back in 2020, Afridi soured his relations with Bhajji and Yuvi too.

—

"It was Afridi who requested me and Yuvi to do a video in support of his foundation as spread of pandemic doesn't see religion or borders. But then he would time and again make anti-India comments," Harbhajan said on Sunday.

"I feel terrible that I even called him a friend. He is not a worthy human being who can be called a friend. I am done with calling Afridi a friend," he added.

Yuvraj echoed the sentiment in a tweet.

[BreadPakoda]

Pakistanis forget that it was Shoaib Malik who apologized to Muslims across the world after India won the 2007 T20 WC while the camera showed Irfan Pathan waiting to collect his man of the match award.

This was much before Cricket was so called politicized by BCCI.

 

[saimayubera]

Relations don't have to be good.

Assumption is that you will be able to compete with bigger teams with better systems.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Shahid Afridi proudly mentioned in an interview that he smashed his TV when he saw his daughter watch an Indian drama. Same guy who backstabbed Yuvi and Bhajji who considered him their friend.

I’m surprised how Pakistanis are shell shocked after Surya refused to shake hands.

The relations between the two countries are at an all time low and something like this was always coming.

 

[Mesozoic]

Never seen so much bad blood between the teams.

Pakistan should have just played the games, not cried and moaned about the silly 'no handshake' thing and then humiliate themselves further with all the cringeworthy posturing they did , only for them to end up getting smashed three times in a row.

Watching Pakistani bowlers mouthing off Indian batters just to end up getting their behinds handed back to them on a plate was even more clownish than India not acknowledging them post game.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Wasim, Waqar, Misbah are among the few exceptions, but most Pakistani ex cricketers have spoken ill about India / Indian team several times over the years.

The list is long - Sohail Tanvir, Abdul Razzaq, Ajmal, Mohammad Yusuf, Kamran Akmal, Rashid Latif, Afridi, Shabir Ahmed, even Inzi. All sorts of cheating / fixing allegations when India wins. Some of these players are your greats. Pakistani media gave them the platform. The same media who in a strangely coordinated manner is now claiming that India “lost” despite winning because of the trophy fiasco.

Again, surprised that so many Pakistanis are continuously blaming India not honoring the spirit of the game.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Focus on your cricket rather than these relations.

Play better and gain respect from the rest of world cricket, rather than sook at every opportunity.

 

[bk19xsa]

Sports is cyclic and so is politics.

People change and so do cricketers and teams.

You never know when again relations will soften up and in 20 years time which team would be on top.

You guys almost beat us in the Asia Cup final. Y'all just lacked game management and made poor strategic moves (batting collapse and giving the ball to Rauf when the spinners were bowling well) despite your team's talents being competitive.

Not international cricket.

American sports with salary caps/draft systems - yes

A sport where one player has 1.4 billion people who are growing richer - no

lol who asked you to be his friend?
It’s your fault. As in yuvi and bhajji.

Who gets chummy with their arch rivals lmao

What a joke.

This applies not just to Pakistan. Every other country too.

It’s war on the pitch. You leave it at that ones it’s done. Yes ipl has brought people together somewhat but it’s all just transactional.

I hated it when kohli etc were getting to friendly with Babar rizwan et.c.

I bashed him hard for it and so did many on social media. Thoroughly deserved. Even in IpL right you don’t see the foreigners all year. It’s only for 3 months. So no reason to get chummy etc with foreign players.

Nonsense Waqar is one of the worst culprits
Overrated bowler too.

Misbah is the one I respect

Wasim is too sleazy. Unctuous and platitudinous sleaze ball. So I wouldn’t trust him either.

 

[Hikaru]

It's not needed, most of those friendships are built on hollow foundation anyway. Forget Cricketers, even I regret getting friendly with a lot of posters here, who although never addressed me directly, but their hatred for my country, people and religion was way too obvious.

If both Cricket teams can ignore each other respectfully off the field, it shouldn't be a problem. Even if there's no respect, atleast take it like men and don't play victim. Goes for both sides.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Not going. Never will.

Gone are the days of Kohli and Rohit being all sweet with Pak players just to gain social media followers. I’m liking this younger generation of Indian cricketers. They know Pakistan is nothing in world cricket, and they’re giving it right back without fear. That’s the attitude that wins games on the field.

Pak cricket is done and dusted. I’m not buying into any “saviour” talk in the future. And honestly, who even wants to respect a team that can’t win, only show theatrics, and then get owned?

At this rate, it’s hard to see Pakistan cricket surviving the next five years with all this drama.

There is no "saviour".

Pakistan being good at cricket was an "exception", this is the norm.

Once Uruguay was better than Brazil/Argentina and Hungary was better than Italy/England/France/Spain.

Once a sport becomes professional with diet, fitness regimens, coaching, proper pipelines, analytics etc the richer countries will always benefit.

That's why NZ/England became so good and SL/WI/Pak declined.

India is not as rich as NZ/Eng/Aus but makes up for it with a massive population and economic growth. In 15 years even SENA won't be able to compete.

This younger generation of Indian cricketers have never seen Pakistan win much against India and have always seen a poorer Pak. Their earliest memories must be the 07 final or the 11 semi.

[Hitman]

Still remember Pakistani fans jumping in joy and making fun of us when cricketing ties were stopped after the Kargil War. They claimed that India were afraid of playing Pakistan. This after their team toured India for a Test series in the same year. This inspite of them starting a war, that too after our PM visited them out of goodwill. It was peure backstabbing for the whole world to see.

India and Pakistan clashed for the first time since that war in the 2003 WC, and Sachin Tendulkar taught their fast bowlers a lesson they will never forget. I loved how their fans booed their own captain out of the ground during the presentation ceremony in that match.​

 

[harshjoshi87]

Don't think relations will get any better. India is playing Pakistan twice in next 2 years in T20 World Cup 2026 & ODI World Cup 2027, probably time will heal the relations. But I don't think the next gen of India players are interested in maintaining friendship with Pakistanis. I hope Pakistanis also stop their obsession with India & look after their cricket which has gone down.

I hope not.

IMO, things are heading in the right direction. GNV is dying within Indina society, BCCI and Indian players. I thinks it great. hopefully it will lead to denying any benefits to Pak and its citizens from Indian resources and efforts, including medical visas

[chinaman00]

Relationship can’t and shouldn’t improve. Pakistan and Pakistanis should get over this obsession with India and move on.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

It's unlikely for a long time unless diplomatic relations are reset and a friendship tour takes place.

However, that seems unlikely too, after the battering of India during Bunyan-e-Marsos, Pakistans stocks rose globally. From China, to the US, to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan is looking elsewhere to build strategic ties in the region, and India is isolated regionally and globally.

In cricket, the reverse is true, and Pakistan is isolated.

I think even in diaspora communities, our generation is the final one that will hold friendships.

Regardless, I hope each country prospers without interference. We have seen recently in Ladakh that India is facing massive resistance from a Buddhist leader that Indian is terming an ISI agent. This level of interference in each other's affairs should stop.

Cricket is elevated to significant heights by us, but in the context of politics, it is pretty minor.

I wish Indians well. They should enjoy the next 18 months or so.

On the field, it’s Indian captain crying about Pakistan’s ultra aggressive attitude towards their players. He admitted Pakistan players abused them and said things that were pretty nasty.

Off the field, India got so scared that they begged for a ceasefire.

Stop making up nonsense. Raho ghe hamare L thalle.

Despite the on-field performances, there are only two countries where fans take cricket seriously enough to debate it day and night.

Unfortunately, when the cricket match becomes the avenue to avenge military defeats, then the intensity is raised to levels where decency and nuance are lost.

Wish all our Indian friends who have moved on from Pakistan the best of luck, we will miss your insights, brothers.

Lol no Pakistani stocks didn't grow globally.

They ran to USA and Saudi to save them and in return they would exact a price.

And that price is here:

Pretty much this. I really think this is the first time that a sports team has been humiliated like this on and off the ground in the history of sport itself. But knowing Pakistan, this is bound to be repeated again and again and will become normalised in some years. Then somebody would have to come up with some other innovative idea to reignite the humiliation and the cycle will continue.

Pakistanis have to come to terms with the new normal - that they are closer to Bangladesh as a cricketing nation and as a nation in general than India.

Because of their history, Pakistanis still like to compete against India but India has peeled away a lot and is peeling away further.

If Pakistanis had normal expectations, they would not have this heartbreak.

Younger gen of Pakistanis will have this drilled into them as they grow up watching loss after loss.

Pakistani forums should issue a blanket ban of Indians, the same way Indian platforms have issued blanket ban of Pakistanis. But I suspect online traffic is one helluva drug.

India is a belligerent hostile country that would have nuked Pakistan out of existence if it could, but it can’t because despite all of Pakistan’s woes, by the grace of Almighty, the idol worshipping Hindu nationalist would never be able to subdue Pakistan.

Anything and everything India should be boycotted. It should be a punishable offense and crime to watch Bollywood.

But that would require self-dignity and honor, which is in a very short supply among Pakistanis these days. So we will see a lot of Pakistani players and fans moan and mourn about the fact the Indians aren’t shaking their hands. It’s a national and civilizational self-humiliation.

I think main difference now is that it’s the first time that Pakistani civilians were targets of Indian attacks (drones in Lahore and Rawalpindi + Indus water treaty thing which will impact millions in an agrarian society). Before Indians used to target army or militants (or both).

I don’t think it’ll get any better any time soon, in fact the opposite and long terms people to people perception will be similar to Jews/Arabs in Middle East.

As for the rest, win or lose they should be put in their place. They are slowly becoming hated everywhere, they just don’t know it. Zero self awareness.

Not really.

Three reasons why you don't see as much Pakistanis online

1. They are lesser in number
2. They have lesser literacy rates
3. They have lesser internet access

These are facts.

 

[deep82]

Good Job by BCCI, should have been done long back. No need for cordial relationship on & off the field in this hostile enviorment. Play them, Dispatch them, Move On. Exactly like Asia Cup 2025.

PCB will cry. Pakistan fans will cry. Let them cry and make noise. Doesn't matter one bit to us.

Respect will be provided to those who deserve it.

 

[cricketfan24]

Relationship can’t and shouldn’t improve. Pakistan and Pakistanis should get over this obsession with India and move on.

This has to be the most delusional post ever.

Go check any Indian cricket forum, how many Pakistanis do you actually see there? Not many. Now visit a Pakistani cricket forum and watch the Indian community grow right before your eyes.

Turn on Pakistani news channels, you’ll barely hear about India unless its pakistan related or something major. But Indian channels? They wouldn’t make a penny unless Pakistan is trending.

When India faces Pakistan in cricket, it’s treated like a full-blown war—24/7 coverage, ads, talk shows, live debates, over-the-top hype on every channel. Try finding that kind of madness in Pakistan, you won’t just a few statements here and there

Even Bollywood can’t succeed without Pakistan as the villain. How often do Pakistani films include India in their storylines? Rarely.

Indian politicians constantly drop Pakistan’s name just to score votes.

Now tell me who is obsessed with who?

That’s fine, everyone is more than welcome here, and diversity of opinion is always valued But that just proves the point They most shameless bunch with zero self-respect claiming they hate Pakistan but still hanging around.

Pakistan punjab and north India are very close to each other except for religion. I don't think there will be much hatred among common ppl if they meet outside of their home nations.

I will be very disappointed if i ever see any Pakistani player ever try to butter up or suck up to an Indian player again given the blatant disrespect shown by the BCCI to the PCB, Ex and Current Indian players towards Pakistani Cricketers.

PCB must issue permanent resolution that there will not be any handshakes in toss or after the game in any game against India. Pakistan captain & players will not speak to any Indian representative during toss or presentation, players will not accept any trophy from BCCI officials. Time for PCB to adopt principaled approach

I mean this is not happening anyways so a moot point.

the idol worshipping Hindu nationalist would never be able to subdue Pakistan.
We nationalist Sikhs are here with our Hindu brothers. If you don't stop sending terrorists we will bury you just like Guru Gobind Singh's fauj buried the Mughals.

Fake Sikh but no one cares.

Not really.

Three reasons why you don't see as much Pakistanis online

1. They are lesser in number
2. They have lesser literacy rates
3. They have lesser internet access

These are facts.

Does this justify your presence here, are you are peace with yourself?

 

[cricketfan24]

Pretty much this. I really think this is the first time that a sports team has been humiliated like this on and off the ground in the history of sport itself. But knowing Pakistan, this is bound to be repeated again and again and will become normalised in some years. Then somebody would have to come up with some other innovative idea to reignite the humiliation and the cycle will continue.

It’s really embarrassing for India, they ended up humiliating themselves: no trophy, no champions board, and no grand celebrations despite winning the final. Most Pakistanis, naturally, are quite satisfied with that outcome.

For Pakistanis, the truly humiliating scenario would have been if Mohsin Naqvi had to present the trophy to India after their victory over Pakistan.

on top nobody isn't even talking about india winning the final everyone is focused on no trophy lol

Only with Indian Punjab and we all saw this closeness during the partition. If you follow Hindu nationalist analysts on Indian TV they consider Pakistani Punjabis in particular to be the most anti India/anti Hindu.

All political brass of pak is from Lahore or Karachi. Most rich entrepreneurs are also from that region. Baloch/ kpk/ gilgit/ kashmir are all not mainstream either economically or politically.

You should watch Rajdeep on Indian TV, he is a liberal.

by the grace of Almighty, the idol worshipping Hindu nationalist would never be able to subdue Pakistan.

Your true colors came out quicker after that thrashing in one tournament. And seriously, what does idol worshipping have to do with this thread?

Yeah but still Punjabis are less than 5% of Indians despite their greater influence in politics or cricket (Gill / Sharma in the recent Asia Cup). And not even all Pakistani Punjabis feel any connection with Indian Punjabis (due to religion) let alone Indians who’re not Punjabis (95% of Indians).

Liberals in both countries are unrepresentative (less than 1%).

Quite funny to see Pakistani always looking for cope mechanism. Pakistan team has been humilated, disrepected and ignored in this Asia Cup - on & off the field. So they now need something to feel good about.

Moshin Naqvi didn't present the trophy - Yay, see Naqvi didn't budge.
If, Mohsin Naqvi did present the trophy - Yay, Naqvi forced Indians to take trophy from his hand.

This is how they twist the narratives in all domains and this is exactly why Pakistan can never progress as a country. Always looking for "something' to present as victory for awaam, instead of actually achieving something.

India should ignore and move on. We are the champions, we dispatched paksitan 3-0, celeberated and will move on.

We are World Champion. We need to prepare now for the next world cup. Pakistan can dance and celebrate for days on how Naqvi, a true cricketing hero, denied India a trophy.

Bro, it's an Asia Cup. We have won 9 of them.

We have won 4 of the last 5, 3 of them unbeaten and only dropped a game in 2023 cause of resting the main team.

It's no big deal for us.

You can keep the trophy and have some grand celebrations lol.

We can see how actually happy they are by cancelling NOCs lol.

If I was looking for cope I would be on an Indian forum seeking validation from the indians

Oops is that what you indians are not doing here

Thank goodness bro.

Their daily criticisms of Pakistan, Pakistanis, our psychology and our obsession with them was really important. I am glad they are staying.

There was one dear Indian poster who has made 7000 posts here each one explaining Pakistanis have small dog syndrome.

I hope one day people like me and you can rise up and have big dog syndrome like him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistanis are making sad edits of the final with Indian songs lol.

TOTAL CULTURAL VICTORY

https://twitter.com/x/status/1972930237693661330

Tilak varma and Abhishek sharma have fan clubs in pakistan. You see a video of a pak girl go "Abhishek is soooo hot". Culturally there is no real enmity which is good i say. Political standoff always force people to take stance. I am sure Shaz and Waz spend a lot of time together off the field

Your post doesn't make any sense. If you don't have anything worth to say, its ok.

We won the cup and thrashed pakistan 3-0. Why should we cope?

Basic common sense.

 

[Technics 1210]

Indians beg for a match, then refuse to hold the cup?

Ahh yes, forced to play in an Islamic country by puny Pakistan.

Remember folks, its not the size but the performance!

Even Ravi Shashtri has lambasted the current Indian T20 team for the antics in the final presentation.

One thing is for certain, Pakistan is never playing in India again! LOL! Beauty!
