The Indian team did not come forward to receive the trophy from him, and Naqvi had to leave the stadium without handing over the trophy.The chant was a callback to the controversy that followed the men\u2019s Asia Cup final in 2025.India had defeated Pakistan in the final in Dubai, but the post-match presentation was delayed by more than an hour. The Indian players were left waiting for their trophy and medals, while visuals showed the Asia Cup trophy being taken away from the presentation area.The episode triggered a wave of criticism and trolling aimed at Naqvi, with \u2018Trophy chor\u2019 becoming a recurring label used against him.The same chant was heard at the Dubai stadium on Sunday when he was leaving the stadium after the Indian women declined to receive the trophy from Naqvi.WATCH:<\/span>BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia subsequently explained why the Indian players had refused to take the trophy from Naqvi<\/a>.\u201cOur men\u2019s team won the Asia Cup a year and a half ago. And our whole situation, since the April 2025 Pahalgam incident, changed after that. So, after that, there was pressure on us from our citizens that we shouldn\u2019t keep any relations with our neighboring country and not play cricket with them. But our government has a policy that we must play against every country in multinational tournaments…\u201d\u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean we will follow every condition laid out for us. Our military conflict is still ongoing. One of the main leaders who is working against the interests of our country; we can\u2019t receive the trophy from him. The Women\u2019s team has expressed solidarity with the decision taken by the men\u2019s team last year,\u201d Saikia told IANS.Naqvi had been seated in the Royal Box alongside BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla and Saikia during the match. The visuals of the officials speaking with Naqvi also drew attention after the presentation.Saikia said the interaction was part of the normal protocol during the match.\u201cIt\u2019s not as if we wouldn\u2019t meet anyone. I was sitting outside in the Royal Box seats right from the toss until the end of the game. Having sat there, I remained in that same place throughout the match. Everyone who came met me during the match; someone sat next to me, then Shukla came and sat with me. The person you mentioned also came and sat alongside Deputy Chairman Khalid (Khalid Al Zarooni) sahib. That\u2019s just a normal tradition\u2014whenever anyone comes, we meet and talk with everyone.\u201dSaikia said an effort had been made to resolve the trophy presentation issue, but it did not succeed.\u201cWe tried to solve today’s situation, but our efforts were not successful. We don\u2019t have any regrets. Our ultimate priority and ambition was not to focus on who would give the trophy. We wanted the Indian team to win and we\u2019ve achieved that.\u201d<\/div>\n \u2018Trophy chor, trophy chor\u2019 echoed around the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday as Mohsin Naqvi
