The recent clash between India and Pakistan in the Hong Kong Sixes tournament added another chapter to the ongoing handshake drama between the two cricketing nations. Despite India's narrow victory via the DLS method, the post-match handshake was once again skipped by both teams. This trend has been consistent in recent encounters, including the Asia Cup and Women's World Cup, reflecting the heightened political tensions and historical incidents that have strained relations between the two countries. The players' decision to adhere to this practice highlights the deeply rooted complexities that exist beyond the cricket field.
