India defeated Pakistan by 19 runs in the Asian Games final, a match marred by controversy following a send-off directed at 15-year-old Indian player Vaibhav Sooryavanshi by Pakistani cricketer Saim Ayub.
Ayub gave Sooryavanshi a 'baby cradle' send-off during the high-stakes match. The gesture drew sharp criticism from former Pakistan player Kamran Akmal.
Akmal publicly condemned the action, stating that players ought to concentrate on their on-field performances rather than seeking attention on social media.
