Harbhajan Singh Shakes Hands With Pakistan’s Dahani in Abu Dhabi T10

The gesture defied a months-long trend of skipped handshakes between Indian and Pakistani players.

Overview

  • Harbhajan Singh exchanged a post-match handshake with Shahnawaz Dahani on November 19 after the Abu Dhabi T10 game at Zayed Cricket Stadium.
  • Northern Warriors defeated Harbhajan’s Aspin Stallions by four runs, defending 114 for one as the Stallions finished 110 for seven.
  • Dahani returned figures of two for 10 in a decisive spell and was named Player of the Match.
  • Harbhajan captained the Stallions, bowled one over for eight runs, and was run out for one during the chase.
  • The moment drew mixed reactions online and contrasted a year marked by handshake snubs across the Asia Cup, the Women’s World Cup, and the Rising Stars event, with a recent exception at the Women’s T20 World Cup for the Blind on November 16.
