India delivered a commanding 2-0 victory over Pakistan in the U-16 Junior Davis Cup tournament held on May 24 in Kazakhstan`s Shymkent. The Indian duo of Prkaash Sarran and Tavish Pahwa clinched the win with impressive performances in the singles rubbers, both winning their respective matches via super tie-breaks, thereby securing a clean sweep for the team.

However, the post-match atmosphere turned controversial when a video surfaced online three days later, drawing widespread attention. The video showed the Pakistani player initially failing to connect with the Indian player during the customary handshake. Upon a second attempt, he made contact only to abruptly and aggressively withdraw. The Indian player, showing remarkable composure and maturity, refrained from reacting and maintained his professionalism despite the provocation.
