Pak Player's Ugly Handshake To Dent Sporting Ties With India? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

In the aftermath of last month’s devastating terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, already tense India-Pakistan relations have reached a new low — and the sporting world is feeling the heat. During the Asia-Oceania Junior Davis Cup, a Pakistani player’s aggressive gesture and ugly handshake with his Indian opponent after a match has gone viral. This has drawn widespread condemnation worldwide. What was once one of the last remaining threads of civility between the two nations — sport — is now under immense strain. With rising calls from India's sporting fraternity to cut all ties, the question arises: can sports truly remain apolitical in times of conflict? Or is a complete suspension of sporting engagements with Pakistan now inevitable? Rupha Ramani looks at the growing divide, the implications, and what it means for the future of sports diplomacy.

Also on the show, Bengaluru's win over Lucknow saw them finish second on the points table. They will now play Punjab for a spot in the final. While Punjab's resurgence was due to a complete change in the mindset, what helped Bengaluru? The match also saw Digvesh Rathi ruffle some feathers. The cricketer irked fans and rivals with his behaviour during the match. Was he wrong, or was misunderstood?
