India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup Match: With Pakistan cricket team captain Salman Agha winning the toss, he invited Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India to bowl first on Sunday in match number 6 of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025. However, it was no ordinary toss as all eyes were on the body language of both captains while speaking to commentator Ravi Shastri.
Adding to the spice, the Pakistan captain chose to walk straight past Suryakumar after electing to bat. It all happened quickly as the Indian captain also stood his ground and did not go for the 'customary' handshake. Check out the visual here:

The Indian captain remained cool as ever as he stated that he had no qualms about bowling first.
"We were looking to bowl first, happy with it. We played just one strip away, was a nice wicket and better to bat on in the night. It's humid so hoping for some dew," Suryakumar Yadav said.
Dubai Pitch Report: "This pitch seems drier compared to the rest and spin could be an important element," says Sanjay Manjrekar in the pitch report. Pakistan feel this surface is on the slower side which can be seen in their selection," the official broadcaster Ravi Shastri stated.
