As soon as Captain Surya Kumar Yadav hit the winning runs, the entire team of India left the field without making any friendly interaction with the arch rival. In a viral video we can see after the match the Pakistan cricket team was waiting on the ground for team India for the ceremonial handshake. But it never happened, as Indian players left the arena and snubbed the friendly handshake ceremony. 

Former Pakistan international Shoaib Akhtar is disappointed with India's behavior. Congratulating India for the dominating win, he advised that they don't make a cricket match political. He advised Team India to move on from whatever happened in the past. 

"I'm speechless. It is disheartening to see, and I don't know what to say. Hats off to India. "Just don't make things political," Akhtar said this in the studio.

"Cricket match hai, isko political mat banao. Hum ne acchi statement di hai aapkee liye. Hum bohut kuchh bol sakte hai. Hoti rehte hain ladayi jhagre, ghar me bhi ho jaati hain. (Don't make a cricket match political. We have said nice things about you. We can say a lot of things about the no handshake. Fights happen, even inside your house. Forget it; move on. It is the game of cricket; shake your hands, show your grace," he added.

But Surya Kumar Yadav and his boys went to play the game and ended up as the winner of the evening. After the match, snubbing the customary handshake with Team Pakistan created worldwide attention from cricket fans.
