Asia Cup: Handshake Row Erupts Between India & Pakistan, Suryakumar Faces Heat | First Sports | N18G

The Asia Cup 2025 has begun with drama even before the first ball was bowled - a handshake row between India’s Suryakumar Yadav and Pakistan’s Salman Ali Agha. At the captains’ press conference, the two initially skipped the customary handshake, with Pakistan’s captain walking away before returning to complete the gesture. Later, visuals of Suryakumar exchanging pleasantries with PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi added fuel to the fire, sparking online criticism. But was this really avoidable, or are players unfairly dragged into chaos? Gursshheen Gahllen breaks down the controversy, fan reactions, and what really happened behind the scenes.

Also on the show, Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal had a teenage moment after Spain's 6-0 win over Turkey. The teenager lost his passport after the World Cup qualifier fixture. Not for the first time, Yamal showed his teenage side. From social media posts to an 18th birthday bash that turned controversial, the football ace is proving that he is figuring out life like the rest of the youngsters.
