Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's post. Modi compared India’s Asia Cup win to Operation Sindoor. Modi's post congratulated the team, saying, "Outcome is the same – India wins!" Operation Sindoor was a military action.



Naqvi criticised Modi's comparison. He said, "History records your defeats at Pakistan’s hands. No cricket match can rewrite truth. Dragging war into sports exposes desperation and disgraces game spirit." Naqvi accused India of politicising cricket. The situation followed India’s refusal to accept the trophy from Naqvi at the post-match event. Naqvi left with the trophy. The presentation stopped. Modi used the win as a metaphor.
