Punjab Kings’ Asia Cup San Pakistan Logo Banner Sparks Controversy

The Indian Premier League team, Punjab Kings, released a promotional banner for the upcoming India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2025. The banner, highlighting the clash at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, featured India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav and the logo. However, it left out Pakistan’s logo and hashtag. This omission triggered sharp criticism from cricket fans, who called the move disrespectful and biased.

Cricket fans quickly took to social media to express their anger. Many accused the Punjab Kings of acting out of political motives. Some fans remarked that the franchise seemed afraid to even mention Pakistan before the match. Others questioned why the banner suggested Pakistan was an “invisible team.” One fan jokingly said that India was playing against John Cena, known for his “You Can’t See Me” catchphrase. Fans argued such actions only embarrassed those responsible.

This is not the first time an India-Pakistan cricket match has faced controversy. Recently, during the World Championship of Legends, India Champions refused to play Pakistan in both league and semifinal matches. This was due to political tensions. Several former Indian cricketers have also called for boycotts of matches against Pakistan, adding fuel to the ongoing rivalry. The Punjab Kings’ banner has reignited these debates, casting a shadow over the Asia Cup clash.

The India-Pakistan match, set for Sunday, September 14, 2025, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, is a highly anticipated event. India enters the game after a strong nine-wicket win over the UAE. They bowled them out for 57 runs and chased the target in just 4.3 overs. Pakistan, led by Salman Agha, will kick off their campaign against Oman on Friday at the same venue. In T20 internationals, India holds a 10-3 lead over Pakistan, with their latest win coming in the ICC Champions Trophy on February 23, 2025, by six wickets.

The Punjab Kings’ banner has turned a sporting event into a talking point about respect and fairness in cricket. The India-Pakistan rivalry is one of the most intense in sports. Actions like this risk escalating tensions beyond the field. Fans expect teams and franchises to honour both sides equally, especially in a global tournament like the Asia Cup.
