Ind Pak Final Toss Controversy: Two anchor came on the ground in the final between India and Pakistan. Ravi Shastri was present there for India. At the same time, Waqar Younis spoke to Salman Aga on behalf of Pakistan. In the Asia Cup final, the dispute between the two countries was at its peak.
The India-Pakistan Asia Cup final has not even started yet and the drama on the ground has reached its peak. This was the first time when two broadcasters were seen at the time of the toss. Former coach Ravi Shastri will interview the Indian captain while his veteran Waqar Yunus will ask questions to the captain of Pakistan. Not only this, the same formula will be adopted in the post-match presentation. This change has happened at a time when Pakistan cricket is engulfed in controversies about its on-field performance as well as media handling.
Pakistani captain Salman Agga opposed the press conference to protest against the handshake controversy after the defeat to India on 14 September. After this, before the Super-4 match, captain Salman Aga canceled the media interaction. Even after the second defeat to India in Super-4, he reached the press conference, but Indian journalists were stopped from asking questions. PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi also responded with the bus to evil.
