Varun Chakaravarthy Dominates Mohsin Naqvi: “You May Take the Asia Cup Trophy, But We Are the True Champions”

Varun Chakravarthy took aim at the ACC and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi after India was denied the Asia Cup trophy.

Varun Chakravarthy Takes Subtle Swipe at ACC and PCB After Asia Cup Controversy

Indian spinner Varun Chakravarthy addressed the post-match controversy surrounding the Asia Cup trophy, which was not handed over to Team India following their thrilling victory over Pakistan in Dubai last month.

Speaking on Breakfast with Champions, hosted by Gaurav Kapur, Varun Chakaravarthy broke his silence on the incident that sparked widespread outrage among fans and commentators.

“The trophy can be snatched, but not the champion’s tag from India,” Varun Chakaravarthy remarked. “It felt good, I knew we were going to win all the matches. We are the number one team in the world. Cup cheen sakte hain, but we are champions,” delivering a pointed yet witty message directed at the ACC and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi.

Asia Cup Trophy Drama in Dubai

The controversy unfolded after India defeated Pakistan in a closely contested final in Dubai to clinch the Asia Cup title. In a shocking break from tradition, ACC President and Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi did not present the trophy to the Indian team.

Reports suggest Indian players, displeased with Naqvi’s presence due to political tensions and prior remarks, refused to accept the trophy from him. In response, an official quietly removed the trophy from the presentation dais, denying India the customary photo opportunity with the silverware.

Naqvi later intensified the controversy by stating that India could collect the trophy from the ACC office “if they wanted it,” further fueling public outrage and debate.

A Celebration With an Empty Bedside Table

Reflecting on the incident, Varun Chakravarthy shared a witty anecdote about his now-viral Instagram post, where he appeared to be sleeping beside a coffee cup — a symbolic stand-in for the missing Asia Cup trophy.

“I had planned everything. I knew we were going to win. So I thought I’d post a picture of myself sleeping with the trophy. But after the match, there was nothing next to me. Just a coffee cup. So I went with it,” Varun Chakaravarthy explained, turning a controversial moment into lighthearted humor.
