Social media is ablaze with users demanding the cancellation of the upcoming India vs Pakistan match in the Asia Cup. The call for a boycott has intensified following the recent Pahalgam attacks, where several innocent lives were lost in a terror incident reportedly linked to Pakistan. This tragedy has sparked national outrage, prompting a widespread social media movement that demands both action and accountability from authorities and broadcasters.
According to the Asia Cup format, India and Pakistan could face each other up to three times. This setup has only fueled the public’s anger further, as many believe it is insensitive to continue with such a format after such a devastating attack. Numerous users have called for the entire campaign to be boycotted and are urging fans to avoid watching the matches altogether in protest.

Political voices have also joined the outcry, with some leaders urging the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to immediately withdraw from the India vs Pakistan clash. Fans have directed their criticism toward the BCCI, demanding an apology and questioning why the board allowed the controversial match to proceed in the first place.
Online backlash hasn’t spared the broadcasters either. SonyLiv, the official streaming partner of the Asia Cup, and Sony Sports Network, which will telecast the matches, are under fire. Viewers have taken to social media to criticize SonyLiv for hosting the matches, even encouraging others to uninstall the app and boycott the platform entirely.
