India captain Suryakumar Yadav and his Pakistan counterpart Salman Ali Agha once again avoided the customary handshake at the toss, marking the third successive instance during the Asia Cup 2025. A day after Salman publicly expressed his disappointment at the repeated snubs, Suryakumar chose not to shake hands with the Pakistan skipper ahead of the toss in the highly anticipated Asia Cup final.

Also, Suryakumar did not attend the trophy photoshoot with the Pakistan captain ahead of the toss. Salman was seen posing with the big prize alone minutes before the toss on Sunday, September 28.

In the final, Suryakumar won the toss and had no hesitation in electing to bowl first, making his decision with clarity and conviction on Sunday.
