The former Indian captain, Sourav Ganguly, has trolled Pakistan’s shameful defeat against India by nine wickets with 25 balls to spare at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the Asia Cup 2025. He revealed his boredom during the game on September 14, which forced him to change the channel in the 15th over of the first innings and enjoy the Manchester derby instead.

Winning the toss, captain Salman Ali Agha decided to bat first on a tough surface and kept losing wickets regularly. Later, it was Shaheen Shah Afridi’s unbeaten 33-run knock that pushed the Pakistan side to 127/9 in their allotted 20 overs of the first innings.

“I am actually not surprised by what I saw. I actually stopped watching after the first 15 overs and started watching Manchester United and Man City (in the English Premier League). Pakistan is no match. I say that with respect, it's just because I've seen what their team was. It's the lack of quality on the side.” Ganguly expressed during a recent event in Kolkata.

Thanks to two superb and aggressive knocks of Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma, India chased down the target comfortably. Ganguly also supported the Blue Brigade’s stance of not shaking hands with the Pakistan players at the end of the game. Captain Suryakumar Yadav nailed the winning runs and went off the field as they locked themselves in the dressing room.

“There is no competition I would rather watch India play Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, or even Afghanistan. I don’t think India and Pakistan are a contest anymore. We keep hyping it, and for the last five years, every hype has been shattered. It’s been one-way traffic.” Ganguly shed light.

“Terror must stop, that's most important, all around the world, not just India and Pakistan. You've seen so many things happening, so that also must stop. But sports also cannot stop. Terror has to stop all around the world.” The former left-handed opening batter of the Indian side concluded.
