The clip has led to questions among fans about whether everything is fine between the two Indian cricketers. Despite, neither player has said anything about the incident, and there is no confirmation of any disagreement.

Harmanpreet recently scored 126 off 121 balls in the second ODI against Zimbabwe. Mandhana was also seen applauding her century during the match.

The two players have shared the Indian dressing room for years, and this brief moment alone is not enough to suggest that they have a problem with each other.

For now, the missed handshake has only led to speculation on social media. Neither Harmanpreet nor Mandhana has indicated that there is any issue between them.
