Asia Cup 2025 ek taraf high-voltage cricket ka festival hai, lekin doosri taraf India aur Pakistan ke beech political aur sporting tension ko bhi saamne laa raha hai. Latest report ke mutabiq, Indian cricket team ne decide kiya hai ke agar wo final me pohchti hai, to PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi ke sath stage share nahi karegi. Ye faisla unke pehle ke stance ke bilkul line me hai, jisme players ne Pakistan team ke sath handshake karne se bhi mana kar diya tha.

India ka PCB Chief ke Sath Stage Refusal

Agar India 28 September ko hone wale Asia Cup 2025 final me pohchti hai, to tradition ke mutabiq trophy aur prize distribution ceremony Asian Cricket Council (ACC) ke president ke haath se honi chahiye. Iss waqt ACC president hai Mohsin Naqvi, jo Pakistan ke Minister of Interior aur Narcotics Control bhi hain.

Lekin PTI ki report ke mutabiq, Indian players ne clear kar diya hai ki wo unke sath presentation dais par nahi khade honge. Ye unke handshake boycott ke baad ek aur symbolic message maana ja raha hai.

Handshake Row Se Shuru Hua Vivad

Asia Cup ke group stage me jab India ne Pakistan ko 7 wickets se haraya tha, tab bhi controversy shuru ho gayi thi. Match ke baad Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) aur team ke players sidhe dressing room chale gaye bina Pakistan ke players ke sath handshake kiye.

Is incident ke baad Pakistani captain Salman Ali Agha post-match press conference me bhi nahi aaye. Pakistan ke coach Mike Hesson ne confirm kiya ki unka absence handshake controversy ke wajah se tha.

Dusri taraf SKY ne press conference me apni jeet ko Indian Armed Forces ko dedicate kiya aur Pahalgam terror attack ke victims ke liye solidarity dikhayi.

PCB ka Strong Reaction

Handshake row aur ab stage-sharing refusal ke baad Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) ne strong reaction diya hai. PCB ne match referee Andy Pycroft par blame daala aur ICC ke saamne complaint file ki.

PCB ka kehna hai ki match referee ne “ICC Code of Conduct aur Spirit of Cricket” ke violations kiye hain, aur unhe immediately Asia Cup se remove karna chahiye.

PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi ne apne official statement me kaha:
“Humne ICC ko complaint bheji hai aur demand kiya hai ki match referee ko turant hataya jaye. Ye issue sirf ek match ka nahi, balki Spirit of Cricket ka hai.”

Asia Cup Final: Ek Political Aur Sporting Battle

Ab sabki nazrein 28 September ke final par hain. Agar India final jeeti hai, to trophy presentation ceremony sabse zyada controversial ban sakti hai. Ye pehli baar hoga jab ek team apne political aur diplomatic stance ke wajah se trophy stage par khade hone se refuse karegi.

Experts ka kehna hai ki Asia Cup jaisa tournament sirf cricket ka nahi, balki regional diplomacy ka bhi ek reflection ban gaya hai. India-Pakistan ke relations already strained hain, aur ab sports diplomacy bhi us tension ko mirror kar rahi hai.

Kya ICC Intervene Karega?

Sabse bada sawal ye hai ki International Cricket Council (ICC) is controversy me kya role play karega. Abhi tak ICC ne koi official statement release nahi kiya hai, lekin PCB ki complaint ke baad zaroor pressure build hoga.

Agar ICC ne strict action nahi liya, to ye controversy Asia Cup ke saath-saath World Cup 2025 tak bhi lamba khinch sakta hai.

Virat Kohli ne apne naam ek aur bada record joda, jab wo Test cricket mein 9000 runs complete karne wale chauthe Indian batter ban gaye. Kohli ne Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid aur Sunil Gavaskar jese mahaan players ki list mein apna naam shamil kiya. Ye milestone Kohli ne New Zealand ke against Test match ki second innings mein half-century maarte huve achieve kiya.

Pehle innings mein duck out hone ke bawajood, Kohli ne second innings mein apni team ke liye strong comeback kiya, jab India ko 356-run ka bada target chase karna tha. New Zealand ne pehli innings mein 402 runs banaye the, jisme Rachin Ravindra ka shandar century shamil tha. India apni pehli innings mein sirf 46 runs par all out ho gayi thi, jo unka ghar pe sabse chhota Test score hai. Is tough situation mein Kohli ki resilience sabse alag nazar aayi, jab unhone team ke liye momentum build kiya.

Ye 9000-run ka landmark Virat Kohli ne

197 innings mein achieve kiya, jo unke predecessors se zyada time liya. 8000 se 9000 runs tak ka safar unhone 28 innings mein tay kiya, aur 2022 se is milestone ka intezar tha. Bengaluru Test ke dauran, Kohli ne ek aur record toda, jab unhone apni 536th international appearance ki, MS Dhoni ke 535 caps ko surpass karte hue. Ab Kohli Indian players mein second-most capped player ban gaye hain, sirf Tendulkar ke 664 appearances ke peeche.

Is se pehle, Bangladesh ke against series mein Kohli ne 27,000 international runs complete karne ka record bhi banaya, sirf 594 innings mein. Ye unhe cricket ke sabse mahaan players ki list mein mazboot jagah dilata hai.

Most Test Runs for India:

• 15921 – Sachin Tendulkar
• 13288 – Rahul Dravid
• 10122 – Sunil Gavaskar
• 9000* – Virat Kohli

India ki second innings mein Rohit Sharma ka aggressive start kaafi important tha, lekin unka unlucky dismissal ke baad Kohli ne Sarfaraz ke saath milke innings ko aage badhaya. Sarfaraz ne attacking shots ke saath New Zealand ke bowlers ko backfoot pe daal diya aur Kohli ne apne milestone ke sath innings ko stabilize kiya.

Former Pakistan cricket captain Younis Khan ne star batter Babar Azam aur senior players per sharp criticism kiya, unhe self-promotion per zyada focus karne ka ilzam lagaya, jo team ke success ko affect kar raha hai. Younis, ne Pakistan ki recent performances ko highlight kiya aur Babar ke leadership aur batting form per sawal uthaye.

Younis ne apne statement mein kaha, “Agar Babar aur baaki top players field per deliver karein, toh results sabko clearly nazar aayenge. Humare players khelte kam aur bolte zyada hain.” Younis kaafi disappointed the team ke recent losses ko lekar aur unhone players ko apne on-field contributions per zyada focus karne ki salah di. Babar Azam per pressure hai, as he hasn’t scored a half-century in his last 16 Test innings, jo ki fans aur former cricketers ke liye concern ka topic bana huva hai.

Younis ne Indian batting legend Virat Kohli ke saath Babar ki comparison ki, aur bataya kaise Kohli ne captaincy se voluntarily step down kiya taaki apni form par dhyan de sake, jo unhe globally records todne mein help kiya. “Dekho Virat Kohli ko, usne khud apni captaincy chhodi aur ab wo duniya bhar ke records tod raha hai. Desh ke liye khelna pehla priority hona chahiye,” Younis ne Babar ko encourage karte hue kaha.

Younis ne emphasize kiya ke Babar Azam ko apni fitness,

performance aur leadership per focus karna hoga, kyunki captaincy jaisi opportunities baar baar nahi aati. Unhone players ko social media par zyada mindful hone ki advice di, aur kaha ke unki on-field performance unka asli jawab hona chahiye.

Jab captaincy changes ke rumors ne zyada traction liya, Pakistan cricket board ko advise kiya gaya hai by white and red-ball coaches Gary Kirsten aur Jason Gillespie ke hasty decisions avoid karein. Babar Azam aur Test captain Shan Masood ki removal ki rumors ko PCB insiders ne “kite flying” kehkar dismiss kar diya.

Hero Asian Champions Trophy 2024 ke ek romanchak match mein, India ne Pakistan ko 2-1 se hara kar jeet hasil ki. Dono teams ke beech ki intense rivalry ne fans ko pura waqt seat edge per rakha.

Defending champions India ne match ke liye confident entry ki thi, pehle ke 4 matches China, Japan, Malaysia, aur Korea ke against jeet kar. Harmanpreet Singh ke experienced leadership mein, Indian team ne apni unbeaten streak ko maintain kiya aur round-robin stage mein top position secure ki.

Yeh India ki lagatar 5th jeet thi 6-team round-robin competition mein.

Match Highlights:

Pakistan ne pehle lead li Ahmad Nadeem ke 8th minute goal se, lekin Harmanpreet (13th, 19th) ne do penalty corners ko convert kar India ko jeet dilayi. Yeh Pakistan ka tournament mein pehla loss tha.

Is match se pehle, dono teams semi-finals ke liye qualify kar chuki thi. 2016 ke baad se India ne Pakistan ke against apni dominance ko continue rakha. Last year Hangzhou Asian Games mein, India ne Pakistan ko 10-2 se hara diya tha, aur Chennai edition of ACT mein bhi 4-0 se jeeta tha.

Asia Cup Jakarta 2022 mein, relatively young Indian side ne Pakistan ko 1-1 draw pe roka, aur 2021 ACT Dhaka mein, India ne Pakistan ko 4-3 se bronze medal jeetne ke liye haraya tha.

Match Progress:

Match ke start se India aggressive thi, lekin jaise-jaise match aage badha, Pakistan ka confidence bhi badhne laga. Pakistan ne 8th minute mein Hannan Shahid ke brilliant midfield play ke through pehla goal kiya, jisme Ahmad Nadeem ne final touch diya.

India ko jab pehli penalty corner mili 13th minute mein, skipper Harmanpreet ne powerful drag-flick ke through score kiya. 19th minute mein doosri penalty corner ko bhi convert karke Harmanpreet ne India ko 2-1 lead di.

Second quarter mein, India possession mein better thi, lekin Pakistan bhi kuch strong attacks karne mein safal raha. Halftime ke kuch seconds pehle, Pakistan ne ek penalty corner miss ki jab Sufyan Khan ka flick bar pe hit hua.

Final Quarter:

Halftime ke baad, India ne possession maintain rakha aur 37th minute mein ek aur penalty corner secure ki, lekin Pakistan ne brave defence dikhayi. Pakistan ko 4 consecutive penalty corners mile, lekin Indian defence unhe rokne mein kaamyab rahi.

Last quarter mein dono teams ne aggressive attacks kiye, lekin India ne apne 3 aur penalty corners convert nahi kiye. Match ke dauran Harmanpreet aur Pakistan ke Ashraf Waheed Rana ke beech ek heated confrontation bhi hua, jab Jugraj Singh par shoulder charge kiya gaya. Jugraj ko impact se pain mein dekha gaya, aur umpire ne Rana ko yellow card diya, jisse uska 10-minute suspension hua.

India ke is jeet se na sirf unhone semi-finals mein apni jagah pakki ki, balki tournament mein apne impressive run ko continue kiya. Malaysia aur Korea ke pehle match mein 3-3 draw raha.

Next match mein Japan aur China ke beech takraav hoga, jo 3:30 PM IST par khela jayega. Dono teams apne standings ko improve karne ke liye win secure karna chahti hain.

Jay Shah ka agle ICC Chairman banne ka faisla lagbhag pakka hai, lekin BCCI ke liye Shah ke successor ka Election abhi tak clear nahi hai. Shah ko 96 ghanton ke andar decide karna hoga ki kya woh naye role ko accept karna chahenge, jabki unke paas BCCI Secretary ke roop mein apne doosre consecutive term ke liye ek saal bacha hai.

Naya ICC Chairman 1 December ko apna kaam sambhal lega, aur nominations ki deadline 27 August hai. Shah ke October 2025 mein apna term complete karne ke baad, unhe BCCI mein wapas aane ke liye teen saal ka cooling-off period follow karna padega.

Abhi tak, yeh clear nahi hai ki Jay Shah ki jagah

BCCI Secretary ke roop mein kaun aayega. Shah ya unke kareebiyon ne abhi tak koi immediate plans disclose nahi kiye hain.

Possible Candidates:

• Rajiv Shukla: BCCI current vice-president Shukla, jo Congress MP hain, ko ek saal ke liye secretary banane ka vikalp consider kiya ja sakta hai. Shukla, jo zyada tar ceremonial roles mein hain, is position ko accept karne ke liye open ho sakte hain.
• Ashish Shelar: Maharashtra BJP ke heavyweight Shelar, jo BCCI Treasurer hain, ek strong candidate hain. Secretary role ka demanding nature ke bawajood, unki political influence unhe ek accha choice banati hai.
• Arun Dhumal: IPL Chairman Dhumal, jinke paas BCCI Treasurer ke roop mein extensive experience hai aur ab ek lucrative league ke head hain, Shukla ke sath role swap kar sakte hain. Lekin, BCCI aksar surprising appointments kar sakti hai.
• Devajit ‘Lon’ Saikia: Current joint secretary Saikia, jo itne zyada popular nahi hain lekin BCCI administration mein crucial role play karte hain, bhi promote ho sakte hain.

Young administrators ke beech DDCA President Rohan Jaitley, former CAB President Avishek Dalmiya, aur other state officials jaise Punjab ke Dilsher Khanna, Goa ke Vipul Phadke, aur Chhattisgarh ke Prabhtej Bhatia ke naam bhi discussion mein aa sakte hain.

BCCI ke power structure mein aam tor par experience ko value kiya jata hai, isliye naye faces ko establish figures ke bypass karna rare hota hai. Lekin, final decision Shah ke ICC role ko abhi ya baad mein accept karne per depend karega.
