A video from India's recent victory over Pakistan in the U19 Davis Cup match has sparked an outrage due to the Pakistani player's unsportsmanlike behaviour towards his Indian counterpart. With the Indian player offering a handshake after the match, the Pakistani player disrespectfully did it and shrugged it off dismissively as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
At the Asia-Oceania Junior Davis Cup (U-16) event in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, on Saturday, India defeated Pakistan 2-0 in the playoff match for 11th place. In their singles matches, Prkaash Sarran and Tavish Pahwa won in straight sets, solidifying India's place in the final rankings.
Three days after the encounter, a video has surfaced on social media as a Pakistani player responded aggressively to his Indian counterpart as the latter offered a handshake after the match. The move sparked outrage among the netizens.
Here are some of the social media reactions to the incident:
Tensions heighten between India and Pakistan after Pahalgam incident
The recent terror attack allegedly committed by Pakistan's militant groups in Pahalgam, Kashmir has heightened tensions between the two nations. A three-day standoff also occurred in the border, bringing two nations to a standstill. The incident had also forced the BCCI to suspend IPL 2025 for a week and the PCB applying the same fate to PSL.
Indian track and field athlete Neeraj Chopra had also spoken about his bonding with Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, claiming that things won't be the same between them after the Pahalgam incident.
