Besides Pakistanis, the entire world knows that Pakistan has been badly defeated in every war against India. Naqvi's actions suggest that he is stealing a trophy and then boasting about it.

Team India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets in the final of the Asia Cup played in Dubai, but after the match, a controversy broke out regarding the award ceremony when the Indian team clearly refused to accept the trophy from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman and Minister Mohsin Naqvi.
The Indian team has cited Mohsin's political position and anti-India stance as the reason. It should be noted that Mohsin Naqvi is also Pakistan's Interior Minister. In light of this situation, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) officials have suggested presenting the trophy to Khalid Al Jarooni, Vice President of the Emirates Cricket Board.
According to media reports, Naqvi
interrupted the ceremony, leading to a 90-minute standoff that ultimately resulted in the trophy being removed from the ceremony. The players were awarded individual medals, but the team did not receive a trophy.
Following Team India's victory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on social media, congratulating the Indian team. He wrote, "Operation Sindoor is being carried out on the field of play, and the result is the same: India wins." This single post by PM Modi caused a stir throughout Pakistan.
Referring to PM Modi's post about Pakistan flaunting its trophy,
Naqvi said, "If war were the measure of your pride, then history has already recorded your humiliating defeat at the hands of Pakistan. No cricket match can change that truth. Dragging war into the game only exposes frustration and insults the spirit of the game."
Besides Pakistanis, the entire world knows that Pakistan has been badly defeated in every war against India, even during Operation Sindoor. Mohsin Naqvi's actions suggest that he is stealing a trophy and then boasting about it.
