BCCI Expresses Strong Objection, Pakistan’s Home Minister Forced to Wait on Stage as India Skips Presentation Ceremony

Despite winning the Asia Cup 2025 title against Pakistan by 5 wickets, the Indian team refused to accept the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).

Consequently, the Indian team celebrated their victory without the official trophy.

Suryakumar Yadav’s AI Response:

Following the controversial presentation ceremony, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav shared an ‘AI-generated’ picture on the ‘X’ platform, featuring himself and Tilak Varma holding the trophy.

In a clear message directed at the Pakistani team and Naqvi, who is known for his anti-India stance, Yadav captioned the picture: “When the game is over, only the champion is remembered, not a picture of a player with the trophy.” Opening batsman Shubman Gill also shared similar AI-generated photos with Abhishek Sharma on Instagram, using ‘laughing’ and ‘trophy’ emojis to express his sentiment.

Objection to Naqvi’s Presence:

Mohsin Naqvi is not only the ACC President but also Pakistan’s Interior Minister and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman. Aware that the Indian team would likely avoid taking the trophy from him, Naqvi remained on the podium for a considerable time. When the Indian team failed to arrive for the presentation, the organizers eventually took the trophy back, and no other official presented it to the Indian squad.

Devajit Saikia, Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), strongly objected to Naqvi’s actions and assured that the trophy would soon be delivered to India. Indian Captain Suryakumar Yadav explicitly stated that it was the first time he had witnessed the champion team not being presented with the trophy, though he referred to his teammates and support staff as the “real trophies.”
