India captain Harmanpreet Kaur does not shake hands with Pakistan captain Fatima Sana during the toss for a Women’s T20 World Cup match, according to NDTV. The incident occurs as the teams take their places for the pre-match ceremony, where captains typically exchange greetings. NDTV reports that the action follows an “unwritten policy” associated with the BCCI, India’s cricket board, which has previously guided how Indian teams conduct handshake protocols in certain contests. The two captains are shown at the toss stage, with Harmanpreet maintaining the gesture-free interaction rather than extending a handshake to Sana. The report frames the decision as procedural rather than a response to a specific moment in the match. NDTV also publishes a video of the toss showing the absence of the handshake, reinforcing the description of the incident.
