Mohsin Naqvi Spotted In Stadium As India Win Women's Asia Cup 2026; Rajeev Shukla Also Present

India's Women's Cricket Team clinched the Women's Asia Cup 2026 title after defeating Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the final held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. As the Indian team celebrated their victory, ACC president and PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi and BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla were seen in the stands. Naqvi's presence has reignited memories of the controversy from last year's men's Asia Cup, where India declined the trophy from Naqvi following their win over Pakistan.

According to reports, Naqvi is currently dealing with a medical condition, piles disease. The presence of Naqvi and Shukla at the final has added more interest to the trophy presentation that will take place post-match. Earlier reports had indicated that Naqvi was expected to be present at the closing ceremony and potentially present the trophy to the champions.

In their dominant performance, Harmanpreet Kaur-led India posted a score of 183/5, and bowled Sri Lanka out for a mere 111, securing a 72-run victory. Key performers for India included Shafali Verma, who scored 68 runs, Smriti Mandhana with 59, and Sree Charani, who took four wickets. As Naqvi and Shukla are now spotted at the venue, attention is now squarely on the post-match trophy presentation and whether India will accept the Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi.
