India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in the Asia Cup 2025 final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 28. Pakistan posted 146 in the first innings after promising starts from openers Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman.
India’s bowlers fought back, with Kuldeep Yadav taking four wickets while Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel claimed key breakthroughs. Tilak Varma anchored the chase with an unbeaten 69 and India completed the target with composure. Players and fans celebrated across the stadium and online as the Men in Blue secured the title in a high-pressure contest against arch-rivals.
Social Media Lights Up With Celebration and Mockery
Social platforms filled with celebratory posts, memes and clips after India’s win. Supporters shared videos of on-field celebrations and playful banter between players, which went viral within minutes. Hashtags praising India trended widely and fans posted images and short videos to mark the victory.
At the same time, commentators and viewers debated player conduct and the tone of celebrations. Many users combined cricket analysis with humour, while others focused on memorable match moments. The rapid spread of clips underlined how closely audiences follow marquee India–Pakistan matches and how quickly reactions can shape the post-match conversation online.
A video shared on X by user Frontalforce captured a visibly upset Pakistani fan reacting to his team’s loss. He spoke in heated terms, blamed team management, and expressed violent rhetoric about how to “punish” the players, later saying supporters should pelt the team with eggs, tomatoes and shoes as a form of “welcome.”
The fan also criticised leadership choices and singled out specific players for poor performances. The clip circulated widely, drawing attention for its hostile language. Many viewers flagged the video as inflammatory, while others treated it as an example of how emotions run high after intense sporting defeats.
Comments On the Video Goes Crazy!
Mohsin Naqvi Runs With The Asia Cup Trophy!
The India–Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 final ended with as much drama off the field as on it. The controversy over India avoiding handshakes with Pakistan and Suryakumar Yadav missing the pre-final trophy shoot escalated further when the Indian players declined to accept the cup directly from PCB and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi.
The presentation ceremony stalled for nearly an hour and a half as Naqvi waited on stage with the trophy. The Indian team stood firm, refusing to collect it from his hands, and requested a neutral official to present it instead. In a surprising turn, Naqvi eventually walked away from the stage with the trophy, leaving players and spectators confused. A tournament official later carried the cup back, and the video of Naqvi leaving quickly spread across social media.
On the field, the contest lived up to the hype. Pakistan batted first and reached 146 runs, thanks to contributions from Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman. But Kuldeep Yadav’s brilliant spell of four wickets restricted further scoring. In response, India struggled early as the top order collapsed. Tilak Varma, however, anchored the chase with an unbeaten 69 from 53 balls, guiding India to a five-wicket victory and sealing the Asia Cup crown.
