Sony Sports Network is facing backlash after releasing a promotional ad for the upcoming India vs Pakistan clash in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, starting on September 9 in the UAE. The India vs Pakistan clash in the tournament is scheduled on September 14 in Dubai, UAE.
The reason behind the teaser, featuring India captain Suryakumar Yadav, Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi, and former legend Virender Sehwag, is to hype the India vs Pakistan clash. But it has sparked anger on social media, with fans strongly demanding a boycott of the game.
The Indian cricket fans, former cricketers, and politicians have been demanding the boycott of the Asia Cup 2025 clash because of the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives.

They have also targeted Virender Sehwag for promoting the match. Despite the uproar, Sehwag remains confident about India’s chances in the tournament.

Virender Sehwag said in a video posted by the Sony Sports Network on social media, “We are world champions. We just won the World Cup and the T20 World Cup, and I am sure that we are the best team in the Asia Cup, and hopefully we will win the Asia Cup.”
The former Indian opener further added, “I think we have a very good side, and Sky is leading from the front, and he's a top player in the T20 format. I'm sure that under his captaincy, we will do well because we've seen in the past when Sky has taken over, we won a lot of T20 games, and I'm sure that we will win the Asia Cup also.”
