The recent gesture of Pakistani teams receiving handshakes from their opponents in hockey and cricket has been a heartwarming display of sportsmanship in the midst of lingering tensions. Despite a remarkable 93-run Test victory over South Africa, the spotlight shifted towards critiquing India's past reluctance to reciprocate such acts of sportsmanship. This moment not only emphasized the importance of mutual respect and goodwill in sports but also shed light on the lasting impact of historical controversies like the Asia Cup conflict. Let us hope that such gestures of sportsmanship continue to transcend boundaries and unite teams on the field in the spirit of true sportsmanship and camaraderie.
