Actor Zayed Khan is buzzing with excitement for the Indian cricket team’s big showdown against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025. The star from the hit film Mai Hoon Na shared his thoughts with the media, confidently predicting a win for India. "India will 100% win the match against Pakistan tomorrow and lift the Asia Cup trophy," he said. Zayed also gave a shoutout to captain Suryakumar Yadav, calling him a top-notch batsman with solid IPL experience. "SKY can be a great captain, and it’s time to give the new generation a shot," he added.
This high-stakes India vs Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup 2025 marks their first meeting since the Pahalgam terror attacks in April, followed by India’s Operation Sindoor by the armed forces. The match is set for Sunday in Dubai, despite backlash from fans and politicians. As always in these intense rivalries, emotions could run high as both sides fight for dominance.
Adding to the pre-match hype, Kuldeep Yadav’s childhood coach, Kapil Pandey, advised Team India to stay cool under pressure. With strained ties between India and Pakistan, he urged the players not to lose their cool and aim for a strong score of at least 250 if batting first. "There’s massive hype and opposition, but we’re playing. The pressure is on to win at all costs," Kapil told . He praised India’s batting and bowling lineup as top-class.
"Our openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill look solid, backed by Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, and a game-changing middle order," Kapil said. On the bowling front, he highlighted Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, and Varun Chakravarthy for making the team a tight unit.
India started the Asia Cup 2025 on a high, thrashing UAE by nine wickets. Pakistan, meanwhile, crushed Oman by 93 runs on Friday.
