The men’s cricket competition at the Asian Games 2026 has ended today (September 3), Saturday. In the title match played between India and Pakistan, the Indian team won the gold medal by defeating Pakistan by 19 runs. Whereas Sri Lanka won the bronze medal by defeating Bangladesh. After the match was over, a question was arising in the minds of the fans that who would give medals to the three teams.
Trophy was not taken from Mohsin Naqvi
This is because this matter was much discussed after the Indian team did not accept the Asia Cup trophy from Pakistan Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi. But this confusion has been completely resolved in the Asian Games 2026. After the victory of the Indian team, IIC Chief Jai Shah gave the gold medal to Team India in the medal ceremony.
On the other hand, Pakistan team was given a silver medal by the Mayor of Nisshin city of Japan and the CEO of Pakistan Super League (PSL) gave them a mascot. The Vice-President of the Sri Lanka Olympic Committee gave the bronze medal to the Sri Lankan team.
