Legendary South Africa cricket team batter AB de Villiers faced a lot of criticism for his views on the controversy surrounding the

 trophy presentation at the Asia Cup 2025 final. India defeated Pakistan by five wickets to claim the Asia Cup title but the 

Suryakumar Yadav-led side refused to receive the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chief Mohsin Naqvi. 

De Villiers did not support India's decision and commented that politics should be kept away from sports. "Team India sort of weren't happy with who was handing out the trophy. I don't feel that belongs in sport. Politics should stay aside," he said.

"Sport is one thing, and it should be celebrated for what it is. Quite sad to see that, but hopefully they will sort things out in the future.
