India’s cricket team sparked nationwide celebrations after grabbing the Asia Cup 2025 title with a nail-biting win over Pakistan in the final in Dubai on Sunday. This victory marks their record ninth Asia Cup crown, and fans from every corner lit up social media and streets with joy.
Bollywood star Jackie Shroff joined the party, cheering on the Men in Blue in his signature fun style. Talking to reporters, he beamed, “Yes, India has won! Congratulations! Hamesha jeetne ka, acha team hai. Number 1 team hai.” His warm words highlighted the team’s unbeatable spirit.
Cricket lover Amitabh Bachchan, aka Big B, wasted no time sharing his excitement on X right after the win. In his tweet, he joked, “T 5516(i) – Jeet Gaye !! .. Well played Abhishek Bachchan .. Udhar zaban ladkhadayi, aur idhar, bina batting, bowling, fielding kiye, ladkhadaya dushman ko !! Bolti band !! Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai Maa Durga !!!!”
Fans cracked up at the reference to a hilarious gaffe by former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar. During his match analysis, Akhtar had slipped up and mentioned “Abhishek Bachchan” instead of young Indian star Abhishek Sharma, turning into an instant viral moment.
On the field, India’s bowlers stole the show to crush Pakistan’s hopes. Kuldeep Yadav shone with 4 wickets for 30 runs, while Varun Chakravarthy took 2/30, Axar Patel grabbed 2/26, and Jasprit Bumrah claimed 2/25. They triggered a collapse, bowling Pakistan out for 146 after the hosts looked solid at 113/1.
Chasing the target, Tilak Varma smashed an unbeaten 69 to steer India home. Key contributions came from Sanju Samson with 24 runs and Shivam Dube’s 33, before Rinku Singh, in his Asia Cup debut, smashed the winning runs to seal the deal.
Tilak Varma earned Player of the Match honors, capping off a dominant performance that cements India’s Asia Cup legacy.
