After the heated debate over the India-Pakistan trophy clash, the Asia Cup 2025 final in Dubai lived up to the hype.
Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav had words of respect for Pakistan after India’s nail-biting victory in the Asia Cup 2025 final in Dubai. India lifted their 9th Asia Cup title with a 5 wicket win, but Yadav admitted Pakistan made the contest tough.
Pakistan started strong with the bat, putting India under early pressure. But Kuldeep’s brilliant spell turned the event, as he picked up 4 key wickets and bowled Pakistan out for just 146 runs. His performance was later recognised as one of the turning points of the match.
Speaking after the final, Kuldeep praised Pakistan’s effort despite the loss. He called them a “quality side” and said that they cannot deny the fact that Pakistan also played well. Pakistan fought hard and pushed them all the way.
The crowded stadium in Dubai was on edge as the game itself bounced back and forth. Even though India’s chase was extremely difficult, experienced batsmen maintained calm to reach the target and win another Asia Cup trophy.
Fans from both countries acknowledged the intensity of the clash, which once again showed why India vs Pakistan games are among the most watched in world cricket.
For India, the win was a celebration. It served as a reminder to Pakistan that its side is still a powerful rival.
