The journey to the 9th Asia Cup Title
India’s triumphant run in the 17th Asia Cup was marked by exceptional cricketing performances and an unbeaten record through seven matches. In the final, after bowling Pakistan out for 146 runs, India successfully chased the target with just two balls to spare.
Young talent Varma played the hero’s innings, scoring an unbeaten 69 runs off 53 balls, while Kuldeep’s bowling spell of 4 wickets for 30 runs was pivotal in dismantling Pakistan’s innings. The win not only added a ninth Asia Cup to India’s trophy cabinet but also boosted the team’s morale ahead of the upcoming global tournaments, showcasing India’s readiness to maintain its World Champions status even after the retirement of several senior players.
The combination of strategic batting, tight bowling, and unwavering team spirit highlighted India’s dominance in the region and justified the BCCI’s exceptional cash prize for the victorious squad.
