India-Pakistan U-19 Asia Cup Toss Controversy: Lakshya Raichandani Refuses Handshake with Farhan Yousaf
During the Under-19 Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan held on November 8, 2026, the customary handshake at the toss was notably absent, continuing a no-handshake dispute between the rivals. India U-19 captain Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani and Pakistan U-19 captain Farhan Yousaf arrived for the toss in Oman but did not shake hands, reflecting ongoing tensions between the teams. India won the toss and chose to bat first, with the Indian lineup featuring Aaryavir Sehwag and Anvay Dravid. In a significant early moment, Pakistan's Ali Raza bowled out Raichandani on the second ball of the innings without a run being scored. This incident has drawn considerable attention, underpinning the rivalry and anticipation surrounding the match.
