India did it again! The Men in Blue pulled off a nail-biting five-wicket win against arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final in Dubai, and the nation went into overdrive. From early wickets to last-ball heroics, the match had it all. Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon shared her excitement from Kolhapur, posting glamorous photos and cheering on India’s victory on Instagram, perfectly capturing the euphoria sweeping across the country.
Netizens flocked to the comment section to appreciate her look, but one comment in particular grabbed everyone’s attention. Fans playfully remarked on the connection between the victory and Tilak Varma, with some joking that “pehle sindoor (hinting at Operation Sindoor, now Tilak,” while others took dig at Pakistan's loss.
The final was a rollercoaster of emotions. Opting to bowl first, India initially struggled as Pakistan’s openers, Sahidzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman, stitched an 84-run partnership. But India’s spinners turned the game on its head. Kuldeep Yadav picked up four crucial wickets, while Varun Chakravarthy grabbed two, and Jasprit Bumrah cleaned up in the death overs, bundling Pakistan out for 146.

Chasing 147 was never going to be easy. Early blows reduced India to 20/3, but Tilak Varma held his nerve. The young man's unbeaten 69 off 53 balls, laced with three fours and four sixes, anchored the innings. Sanju Samson chipped in with 24, forming a crucial 57-run partnership, and Shivam Dube’s quickfire 33 tilted momentum firmly towards India. In a fairy-tale finish, debutant Rinku Singh struck the winning runs on his very first ball, securing India’s ninth Asia Cup across formats.
Fans flooded social media with memes, tributes, and celebrations, applauding India’s perfect sweep over Pakistan in the tournament. Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the festivities online, tweeting a playful congratulatory note that quickly went viral. With thrilling performances, fearless batting, and precise bowling, India not only defended its dominance over Pakistan but also reinforced its T20 supremacy, leaving fans buzzing with pride and hope for future glories.
