The “no-handshake” controversy between India and Pakistan has been at its peak for some time. To honor the victims of the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, Team India did not shake hands with Pakistani players during the Asia Cup. Even in the ICC Women’s World Cup, Indian women players did not extend their hands toward Pakistani players in a gesture of friendship. The same scene was witnessed again in the Rising Star Asia Cup.
However, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has now broken this practice by shaking hands with a Pakistani player. In the Abu Dhabi T10 League, Harbhajan Singh was seen shaking hands with Pakistani fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani, and the picture is going viral on social media.
Let us remind you that during the Asia Cup, Harbhajan Singh had said that India should not play against Pakistan out of respect for the Pahalgam attack victims. But now he himself is seen shaking hands with a Pakistani player.
