Cricket is meant to be a gentleman’s game. But when a terror-exporting nation like Pakistan enters the arena, the “gentleman” is replaced by indecency, deception, and dishonor. What unfolded at the Asia Cup was not just another cricketing contest—it was a test of national dignity. India didn’t just defeat Pakistan on the field; it humiliated…
Mumbai: The BCCI will lodge a “very strong protest” in the next ICC meeting in November against Asian Cricket Council chief Mohsin Naqvi, who walked away with the Asia Cup trophy after the Indian team refused to accept it from him in Dubai.

Dubai: Being denied a deserving trophy after winning a marquee event is a first for India’s T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav but he is unruffled thanks to his 14 “priceless” teammates, each one of them as “precious” as the Asia Cup silverware.

Dubai: Tilak Varma, the sinewy left-hander from the city of Nizams, produced a heady cocktail of chutzpah and discretion to guide India to their ninth Asia Cup title, following a five-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan in a thrilling final here on Sunday.

Thirty-nine lives. Snuffed out in an instant. Mothers, fathers, children—reduced to statistics in what has become one of Tamil Nadu’s worst stampedes in recent memory.
