'Doing things for social media': Ex-Pak player slams Ayub for Sooryavanshi send-off

India secured a nineteen-run victory over Pakistan to win the Asian Games final after putting up a total of 211 runs for the loss of six wickets. During the match, Pakistan's Saim Ayub gave a baby cradle send-off to fifteen-year-old Indian player Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, which drew criticism from former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal for seemingly chasing social media clout rather than focusing on the game.

Despite a strong ninety-six run knock from Hasan Nawaz, Pakistan ultimately fell short and lost the contest.
