Asia Cup 2025 top run-getters and wicket-takers after IND vs PAK Final (Updated) ft. Kuldeep Yadav, Tilak Varma

Team India secured the 2025 Asia Cup title after a tense five-wicket win over Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, September 28. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side chased down the 147-run target to defend their title, and win the trophy for the ninth time in history.

Pakistan had a relatively smooth power play after being put into bat first. Sahibzada Farhan took the initiative to record his fifty, and score the majority of the runs in a massive 84-run opening partnership. However, the Indian spinners stole the show in the second half of the innings as the Men in Green suffered a collapse of epic proportions. From 113-1, the team were bundled out for 146 in the blink of an eye.

Team India crumbled early on in the run chase, being reduced to 20-3 after four overs in the powerplay. The middle-order pair of Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson put on a crucial partnership for the fourth wicket to stabilize the innings. Shivam Dube chipped in with a crucial cameo as Tilak Varma remained unbeaten to see India through with a couple of deliveries to spare.

Kuldeep Yadav ended his prolific Asia Cup 2025 campaign on the highest of notes. The wrist spinner, who already set the record for the most wickets in the T20 edition of the tournament, bagged four wickets to play an instrumental role in India's sensational comeback with the ball.

He took the wickets of Saim Ayub, which triggered the collapse, and Salman Ali Agha, Shaheen Afridi, and Faheem Ashraf to finish with figures of 4-30. He ends the tournament with 17 wickets to his name with an average of 9.29, and an economy of 6.27.
