As India prepares to face Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final on Sunday, September 28, fans on social media trolled Pakistan YouTuber Furqan Bhatti for his claim about PCB & Pakistan Players deciding to physically fight Indian players after Asia Cup 2025 final despite recently receiving sanction from ICC. Pacer Haris Rauf was fined 30% of his match fees for an on-field gesture where he mimicked a crashing plane, an act deemed inappropriate and against the spirit of the game.
Bhatti brags that he has inside information that PCB have allowed Pakistani players to assault their Indian counterparts if they were to win the Asia Cup 2025 final. "ICC shouldn't feel Pakistani team won't do anything if they win the Asia Cup since they've fined them a little. I am telling you in 100 years of cricketing history, bring as much as much security you want at post-match ceremony to ensure there is no fight. I am giving you inside information that Pakistani players will give Indians a strong reply in post-match ceremony and presentation," he said.

The buildup to the high voltage final has been a spicy affair. It all started with 'No Handhshake' row during the group stage match between both teams. The Super 4 tie got intense with Haris Rauf 6-0 gesture towards fans and Sahibzada Farhan's gun celebration after scoring half century.
Team India skipper Suryakumar Yadav recently claimed that India vs Pakistan is no longer the biggest rivalry in cricket. After the victory in the Super 4 match, Surya during the press conference said , "I think you should stop asking questions on the rivalry because rivalry is when both sides play 15-20 matches, and one side is ahead by 8-7. It is called playing good cricket and a rivalry. 3-0, 10-1, I don't know what the stat is, but this is not a rivalry anymore," .
PCB and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi also added fuel to the fire by tweeting a video of Cristiano Ronaldo is seen gesturing that an aircraft suddenly crashed
Suryakumar Yadav refuses pre final photoshoot with Pakistan skipper Salman Agha
With India and Pakistan set to clash in the high-voltage Asia Cup 2025 final on September 28, Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium, reports have claimed that there will be no captains' photoshoot before the decider. Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav and his Pakistani counterpart Salman Ali Agha are also likely to not shake hands during the toss.
Suryakumar and Salman didn't shake hands during toss of both matches of Asia Cup 2025, while the Indian players didn't do the same after chasing down the totals successfully set by the opposition. The animosity between the two sides reached at another level during the Super 4 clash as Haris Rauf engaged in a heated altercation with opening batter Abhishek Sharma.
Led by the dynamic Suryakumar Yadav, the Men in Blue emerged triumphant twice against Pakistan and will be expected to achieve a hat-trick of wins in Dubai on Sunday. Nevertheless, India will hope for Hardik Pandya to return to full fitness, given the star all-rounder bowled only one over against Sri Lanka and stayed off the field for the remainder of the innings
