India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025: India beat Pakistan by seven wickets in the Asia Cup T20 match on 14 September 2025. Pakistan batted first and scored 127 for 9 in 20 overs. Farhan scored 40 runs in 43 balls, and Afridi reached 33 not out in 16 balls. Kuldeep Yadav dismissed three batsmen for 18 runs, whereas Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah both dismissed two batsmen each.
India chased the target easily, finishing at 131 for 3 in 15.5 overs. Suryakumar Yadav scored 47 not out, Abhishek Sharma 31, and Tilak Varma 31. Saim Ayub took 3 wickets for Pakistan. This win gave India an 11-3 overall record against Pakistan in T20 internationals. India had an overwhelming advantage in batting and bowling, whereas Pakistan found it difficult to score runs due to India’s strong spin and pace bowlers.
Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube went straight to the dressing room after hitting the winning runs. The Pakistan team, led by Salman Agha and coach Mike Hesson, waited outside the Indian dressing room for the traditional handshake. Instead, the Indian management shut the door, ending any chance of post-match contact.
Harbhajan Singh and Gautam Ghambir reflect on India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025
After India won the match, Harbhajan Singh and Gautam Gambhir, two former Indian cricket players, shared their strong reaction to the controversial India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match.
Harbhajan Singh declared his win as “celebrating time for our nation.” He said that the youthful Indian team excelled in cricket by being fearless, with Abhishek Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and the spinners at the forefront. He highlighted how Pakistanâ€s batters struggled against Indiaâ€s spin attack. Harbhajan stressed that wins against Pakistan are always emotional and a source of pride for the whole country.
Gautam Gambhir, now Indiaâ€s head coach, stood firmly with the teamâ€s no-handshake stance after the match. He patted captain Suryakumar Yadav and the squad as they walked off, saying the gesture was to honour the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the armed forces behind Operation Sindoor. Gambhir praised the bowlers for restricting Pakistan to 128 and the batters for finishing the chase with authority. He also used the broadcast platform to call for honesty across Indian cricket, in the dressing room, in coaching, and in commentary.
