Asia Cup: Ponting Fumes Over Fake Claims He Called Team India 'big Loser' Amid Handshake Controversy
Team India: Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has issued a statement after being falsely accused of commenting on Team India’s handshake snub against Pakistan after Sunday's group stage clash at the ongoing Asia Cup.
After India clinched a seven-wicket win against Pakistan, the players walked straight into the dressing room without shaking hands with the opposition players. Soon after, a quote began spreading across social media suggesting Ponting had criticised the behaviour of Indian players for refusing to leave the team’s dressing room to shake hands with Pakistan players after the game.
As per Fox Sports, X users falsely claimed Ponting made the comment on Sky Sports that, “This match will be remembered forever with India as the big loser. The way the Pakistani team wanted to shake hands at the end has immortalised them as champions of the gentleman’s game with India as the perpetual loser."
