India won their ninth Asia Cup 2025 trophy after defeating Pakistan in a thrilling final on Sunday in Dubai, completing a 3-0 sweep over Salman Agha’s team in this edition of the tournament. While India’s previous two wins were comfortable, this final went down to the wire, with Pakistan having the upper hand at several stages. Fans were kept on the edge of their seats as the match swung back and forth before India finally sealed the victory.

India’s chase of 147 began disastrously. The team lost in-form Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, and captain Suryakumar Yadav for just 20 runs in four overs, as Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf and Shaheen Afridi cleverly used varied deliveries to put India under early pressure. Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma then steadied the innings with a 57-run partnership off 50 balls before Samson was caught at point off Abrar Ahmed. Varma had a great time at the crease, managing his 50 off 41 balls and another important partnership with Shivam Dube. Dube struck 33 off 21 balls, which made the target 17 runs from 12 balls. Then in the last over, with five balls remaining and eight runs to get, Varma hit a six down the leg side off Haris Rauf, ensuring the victory for India. So he was really the man for the occasion, as he scored his 53-ball knock of 69 not out, leading India to a fantastic 

Earlier, Pakistan’s innings started strongly. Sahibzada Farhan continued his dominance over Jasprit Bumrah, scoring 57, while Fakhar Zaman added 46, as Pakistan ended the powerplay at 45/0. Farhan and Zaman attacked the Indian spinners with three sixes and a four in the next 3.3 overs. But Pakistan soon collapsed under pressure. Varun Chakravarthy dismissed Farhan for 57, and Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel struck key blows in the 13th and 14th overs. In the 17th over, Kuldeep took three wickets while conceding just one run, completely derailing Pakistan’s innings. Jasprit Bumrah cleaned up the tail, and Pakistan was all out for 146 after losing nine wickets for just 33 runs. Handing India a thrilling five-wicket win and their ninth Asia Cup title. This victory fired up the Indian fans on Twitter, who expressed their emotions in various forms.

Mohammad Siraj is establishing himself as the mainstay of India's bowling attack in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, as the leading wicket taker with 20 total wickets. His latest four-wicket haul at The Oval busted open the middle order of an England batting lineup that was thriving and gave the beleaguered Indian side some hope of coming back from the dead in a tense Test and pushed the England innings forward with guesswork. Siraj's figures of 4/86 should underline that he has dismissed big names such as Joe Root, Ollie Pope, Jacob Bethell, and Harry Brook, which once again shows he is a player for the big occasion. Siraj now leads for wickets so far in the series, ahead of Josh Tongue (19), Ben Stokes (17), Jasprit Bumrah (14), and Akash Deep (12). Aside from the numbers, his phenomenal energy, the ability to take wickets at long lengths, and proud emotional celebrations have already endeared Siraj to us as the anthem of India’s pace attack on this tour.

Siraj bowled more overs than any other bowler in the five-match series—a great testament to his fitness and ability to manage his workload. Whether flat tracks or seam-friendly conditions, the right-arm quick has consistently provided breakthroughs and interventions that India needed the most. To think we went from a support bowler to leading the attack in Bumrah's absence shows the amazing progression. As the series unfolds, social media users across the world consider it "Miyan Magic" and celebrate his presence and impact on the team's performance and morale, not only as a skill with the ball but also with intensity and delightful exuberance.

Md.siraj is now the highest wicket taker of the series. Playing ALL 5 tests and bowling the most overs.. Very Well Deserved #AndersonTendulkarTrophy

Siraj could end this series as the highest wicket-taker, but he's still been so unlucky, man. Some brilliant bowling has gone unrewarded plenty of times. Hoping today isn't one of those days.
