Virender Sehwag is facing criticism for promoting the Asia Cup 2025 India vs Pakistan match. The promo video by Sony Sports Network highlights the match on 14 September in Dubai. Many fans are upset because the promo came soon after the Pahalgam terror attack on 23 April 2025, which killed 26 people. The attack increased tensions between India and Pakistan, and India cut all sporting ties with Pakistan. Fans feel the promo is insensitive and have called for a boycott of the match. Some say that celebrating cricket with Pakistan now is wrong. The controversy shows how sports and politics are connected in India. The Asia Cup will run from 9 to 28 September 2025 with eight teams playing. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 18:21 IST; source: link)
