Times of India - Sports · sports

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal has criticised all-rounder Saim Ayub for his 'baby cradle' gesture towards 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after taking his wicket in the Asian Games cricket final. Akmal stated that such actions are done for social media and that management should address this behaviour in international cricket. Ayub's celebration came after Pakistan pushed India hard in the final, ultimately losing by 19 runs. India successfully defended its gold medal title in the closely contested match.
