<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: India\u2019s record eighth Women\u2019s Asia Cup title was followed by a trophy presentation that quickly became the biggest talking point of the final \u2014 and a video from outside the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has now added another twist to the controversy.A video circulating on social media shows Asian Cricket Council president and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi leaving the stadium after India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the final on Sunday.As Naqvi\u2019s car passed a Pakistan supporter filming his exit, the fan could be heard praising the PCB chief and backing his handling of the situation involving India.\u201cGood job sir, we are happy with you. They [India] don’t deserve this trophy. We love you. You are a great man. You are doing well. Keep it up,\u201d the fan was heard saying in the video.Naqvi, who appeared to smile and wave at the supporters as his car moved past, had earlier been at the centre of the trophy presentation controversy after the Indian players did not come forward to receive the trophy from him.Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n India had completed a dominant 72-run victory over Sri Lanka to win the Women\u2019s Asia Cup for a record-extending eighth time. But when the presentation began, Harmanpreet Kaur<\/a> and her teammates did not collect the trophy from Naqvi.Naqvi remained on the presentation stage and handed the runners-up cheque to Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu. The Indian players celebrated their title on the field but did not participate in the trophy handover involving the ACC president.As Naqvi subsequently left the stadium, \u201cTrophy chor, trophy chor\u201d chants were heard around the venue<\/a>.The chants were a callback to the controversy surrounding the men\u2019s Asia Cup final in 2025. India had defeated Pakistan in Dubai, but the trophy and medal presentation was delayed by more than an hour, with visuals showing the Asia Cup trophy being taken away from the presentation area.The episode triggered criticism and trolling aimed at Naqvi, with \u201cTrophy chor\u201d subsequently becoming a recurring phrase used by some Indian supporters.<\/p>\n BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia later explained why the Indian players had refused to take the trophy from Naqvi<\/a>, linking the decision to the position taken by the men\u2019s side after last year\u2019s Asia Cup final.\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. Saikia insisted that the interaction between the officials was normal protocol.Saikia also revealed that efforts had been made to resolve the trophy presentation issue.\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 he added.<\/div>\n Pakistan fan praises Mohsin Naqvi NEW DELHI: India\u2019s record eighth Women\u2019s Asia Cup title was followed
