ASIA'S FINAL WORD: SPOKEN IN BLUE

Team India go full throttle maintaining a clean slate to emerge as the winners of ASIA CUP 2025.

Right from day one till the last day, they never took the foot off the pedal. It was India who called the shots in all of the games that they played, except for the final two games, where they had to cope with a few heart wrenching moments. Yes, there were praises galore and many questions were asked on a few of the individual performances, but when it mattered the most there was someone or the other who raised their hands to see the team through. We all know that the Indian think tank has been working on the no fear cricket aspect for some years now, but to have a team that is supremely talented who are always on the offensive is a sight to behold in itself.

To have the likes of Jaiswal, Iyer, Ruturaj, Patidar still not getting a chance to be a part of this team speaks volumes about the abundance of talent in the Indian cricket scene today. The stand out player of the tournament for Team India was Abhishek Sharma who hit the ground running from ball one and more often than not got into the skin of the opponents. No team had an answer to his heroics and he almost decimated all the teams by the end of the powerplay making it very easy for the rest of the batsmen. On one end it was Abhishek who was wielding his bat like a sword while the other end saw Kuldeep and Varun spring a web with the ball, which the opposition had no clue whatsoever to get out off. The icing on the cake was to see Tilak Varma playing a mature innings to see us through in the final. This team knows what it means to be adaptive alongside being aggressive.
