Oceania Junior Davis Cup: A viral video from India’s recent victory over Pakistan in the U16 Davis Cup has sparked outrage, as it showed a Pakistani player displaying aggressive and unsportsmanlike behaviour towards an Indian opponent.

India defeated Pakistan 2-0 in the 11th-place playoff match at the Asia-Oceania Junior Davis Cup (U-16) tournament in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, on Saturday. Prkaash Sarran and Tavish Pahwa secured straight-set wins in their singles matches, sealing India’s position in the final standings.

However, three days after the encounter, a video surfaced on social media showing a Pakistani player making an aggressive gesture toward his Indian counterpart, repeating the act, and then dismissively shrugging him off — a move widely condemned as disrespectful and against the spirit of the sport.
