Controversy Erupts as Pakistani Players Reportedly Chant Slogans Before India Clash

Tensions are high ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 match between India and Pakistan. A recent practice session at the ICC Academy in Dubai has sparked controversy, with reports surfacing that Pakistani players chanted the slogan ‘6-0, 6-0,’ interpreted as a taunt towards India. This chant is seen as referencing claims of the Pakistani Air Force downing six Indian fighter jets during a recent military conflict. The match, scheduled for September 21st at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, follows a group stage encounter where India won by 7 wickets. This incident has further escalated the already strained atmosphere between the two teams, with a handshake dispute following the initial match.
