India won their third straight game over their archrivals, Pakistan, in the Asia Cup 2025, including the final held in Dubai on Sunday, September 28.
India have been dominating Pakistan in every way possible; however, the final match witnessed some challenges posed to the Blues by the Men in Green. At first, the huge opening stand between Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman set the tone for a huge total.
Tilak Varma, however, helped India stabilize their innings, building onto vital partnerships alongside Sanju Samson and later Shivam Dube. During a recent discussion with Sports Today, Sunil Gavaskar admitted that his heart was racing very fast in some tense moments of the game.
Sunil Gavaskar slams Indian players for weak batting tactics in the powerplay
Further speaking of the game on a serious note, he went on to slam the Indian openers for their lack of strategy in chasing such a small target. Sunil Gavaskar complained:
"What you need to get was a nice, solid start. Not necessarily a 60 or 50 in the first six overs. They didn't need 20-3. That is what opened the door for Pakistan. That is what got everybody nervous," he advised.
Shivam Dube, the unsung hero of India's Asia Cup final triumph
Tilak Varma was undoubtedly the architect of so much joy for the Indian team with his well-balanced knock under intense pressure. The southpaw hit an audacious 69* off just 53 balls to guide India to a dominating victory.
Shivam Dube scored 33 off just 22 balls with a strike rate of 150 and was one of the major contributors in changing the course of the game for India. He had delivered a stunning spell of 0/22 in his three overs with the ball. In Hardik Pandya's absence, he served as the ideal second pace bowling option for India.
