TL;DR:Asian Cricket Council, led by Pakistan minister Mohsin Naqvi, expressed regret after the Asia Cup 2025 trophy controversy. 🏆 The trophy was taken away to a hotel room post-final, sparking outrage.

What Happened?
After India’s victory in the Asia Cup final, ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi reportedly carried the trophy and medals to his hotel instead of leaving them with the winning team.
This move triggered anger in cricket circles and diplomatic unease, with BCCI even considering formal complaints.
Flashback / Context
India beat Pakistan in the final at Dubai on 28 Sept 2025.
Post-match, instead of the trophy being placed with Team India, it was whisked away, leading to chaos online and among officials.
Past tournaments never saw such a controversy, making this one stand out as a rare embarrassment.
Who Gains & Who Loses?
Losers: Indian players and fans, robbed of a proud trophy moment.
Losers: ACC’s reputation, now questioned over professionalism.
Temporary Gains: Pakistani officialdom, though backlash outweighed any “symbolic” gesture.
People’s Angle
For cricket-crazy youth in India, it felt like a disrespect to team spirit. 🥺 Social media exploded with memes, anger, and demands for accountability. For common fans, it reinforced how politics often seeps into sport.
MediaFx Take
Sports should unite, not divide. Trophy disputes only cheapen the game and disrespect players who sweat for it. 🏏 Hope the ACC cleans up its act before fans lose trust.
