India's tenacious spin duo Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav gave a special shoutout to the team analyst Hari Prasad Mohan for the extent of effort he put behind the scenes that played a part in setting up the ninth Asia Cup title win for India in Dubai on Sunday.
A well-compiled half-century by Tilak Varma and his valuable partnerships with Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube helped Team India secure their second T20I Asia Cup title and overall ninth title, including the ODI editions, beating Pakistan by five wickets in a nail-biting final at Dubai on Su
During the final on Sunday, while chasing a modest 147, the initial spell by Faheem Ashraf left India at 20/3. Coming in at 10/2, with skipper Suryakumar Yadav inside the pavillion and vice-captain Shubman Gill following him shortly after, Tilak rebuilt the innings brick-by-brick, stitchi
Tilak Varma's clutch knock of 69* and his useful half-century partnerships with Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube helped India to their second T20I Asia Cup title and overall ninth title including the ODI editions, with a successful, yet a tense run-chase of 147 runs against Pakistan in the fi
Suryakumar-led Team India continues its rampaging run in T20Is, having won 18 T20Is and dropped just two and tied two ever since it first wore the captaincy armband. Kuldeep Yadav (4/30) sent Pakistan into a shocking collapse, from 113/1 to 146 all out, despite a fine 84-run opening stand
Suryakumar Yadav's appalling dry spell with the bat since taking over India's T20I captaincy mantle continued in the Asia Cup final on Dubai's slow-paced track against Pakistan on Sunday.
Kuldeep Yadav has made history by becoming the highest wicket-taker in a single Asia Cup T20I edition, securing 17 wickets in the 2025 tournament. He achieved this feat in the final of the ongoing T20 Asia Cup in Dubai on Sunday.
Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan became the first batter to hammer three sixes off India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in T20Is following his rollicking exploits in the Asia Cup final in Dubai on Sunday.
Rauf was Bumrah's first victim and overall ninth in the match. After castling his stump, Bumrah used his hand to gesture a plane crashing, which was in a way a direct response to what Rauf did during the Super Four clash not so long ago.
After winning the toss, India opted to bowl. Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman opened the innings. Shivam Dube took the new ball and conceded only a four in the first over.
Aparna Bisht Yadav expressed confidence in India's victory, likening the team's strength to the Prime Minister's 56-inch chest and saying that when the lion roars, all other voices fall silent.
