India ensured commanding 2-0 victories over Pakistan in Junior Davis Cup (U-16) 24 May in Shymkent in Kazakhstan. Indian players Prakaash Sarran and Tavish Pahwa won their appropriate singles matches through Super Tie-Breaks to seal the victory.However, the controversy broke out three days later when the video from the match emerged online. It turned out that a Pakistani player participates in an unsportsmanlike Handshake with his Indian counterpart. After originally missing a handshake, the Pakistani player contacted for the second time just to suddenly pull away in a seemingly disrespectful way.
The Indian player, however, remained calm and upset and showed a remarkable peace.This incident came in the middle of increased tension between India and Pakistan, after a terrorist attack on April 22, which left 26 people – mostly tourists -. In India’s retaliation, she launched Precision Airstikes on May 7 and focused on nine terrorist camps associated with groups such as Jaish-E-Mohammed, Lashkar-E-Taiba, and Hezbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and POK, reportedly killing more than 100 millitants.While India described strikes as “measured and concentrated”, Pakistan responded to drones attacks on Indian military installations near the border, which caused countermeasures from India.After three days of cross -border hostility, both nations agreed to end fire on May 10.
