India's opponent in the Asia Cup on September 14 is Pakistan, but it has suddenly been left blank in one poster. The graphics card shared by IPL team Punjab Kings on their X handle does not have the name or flag of any team in the room of India's opponent. The poster only has pictures of Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill.

Earlier, the name and logo of the opponent were seen in India's first match. However, this time it is believed that the name of Pakistan has been left out for political reasons. After the attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir in the last week of April, the two countries have been in conflict.

Some former cricketers like Harbhajan Singh and Kedar Yadav have called for a boycott of the match. Even a PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court of India to cancel the India-Pakistan match.

This strategy of Punjab Kings' poster has succeeded in attracting the attention of fans with surprise and publicity. Whereas the number of views of the poster of the UAE match was 5.5 thousand, the poster of the India-Pakistan match was viewed more than four lakh times and more than a thousand comments have been received.
