The match was marred by a 'no handshake' incident as the Indian team decided against indulging in the customary tradition owing to the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year. Captain Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with his Pakistan counterpart Salman Ali Agha at the toss, and the entire Indian team did the same after the match ended.
Soon after the game, a quote falsely attributed to Ricky Ponting started circulating on X, misleading many. The Australian legend was attributed with making a comment about the handshake row during the India vs Pakistan clash in Dubai.
Ricky Ponting responds
As soon as the quote went viral, thousands of messages criticising and slamming Ricky Ponting started doing the rounds on the social media platform.
