[sweep_shot]

Rinku scores the winning run.

India win the 2025 Asia Cup.

 

[Major]

It was a good match. India hsould shake hands and show courtesy atleast

 

[Pakistani Pace]

So embarrassing. Lost 3 times to them even with handshake drama. These lot need to quit.

 

[JaDed]

Jeeeet Gayeeee , Rauf lala memes coming upp

 

[Hikaru]

Tilak bhai full gaali galoch ..well done veere

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

IF IF IF only rauf could’ve of blown on his fingers a bit more it might have been Pakistans day.

 

[amvbfm]

Today India’s win is not because of talent, ability or skills, it’s because of common sense and using their brains.

 

[imshally81]

Bad bad captaincy from agha

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Never watching Pakistan cricket again. See you guys.

 

[Kianig89]

Haris Spanke Me Rauf , I had discarded him long ago around 2023 50 over WC

 

[OldWarHorse]

Shake their hands atleast you illiterates. Thye deserve it, what a fight they put in

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Mental midgets. Pakistan cricket = indias bitches

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf has been the difference between the two sides today

Told you that from the start

 

[LordJames]

Highest Performance Award for Haris Rauf...

 

[sweep_shot]

A box-office final.

Great game.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Batters 3-11 + Rauf completely bottled it tonight.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Relieved. Tilak varma early this year pulled of fan impossible chase against England. This is his second such chase. Well done boy

 

[ravisurya]

After all that pakistan still can't win. Must be tough.

 

[Devadwal]

Men in blue not hitting any other bowler, so that they can hit only Rauf. good strategy lads.

Take that Harris Rauf .

Ye hai hindustan meri jaan

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Big mouth Rauf put to his place where he belongs. What a phainty.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Rauf 50 runs in 3.4 overs well done lad

 

[MP2011]

Last time we lost a T20 game was on 28th January 2025 against England

Whichever way you look at this record, it's out of this world.

 

[Sachin fan]

Rauf to India's rescue like usual.

 

[Suleiman]

Pakistan won hearts, that’s what matters

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Bad captaincy by Agha by not giving Talat an over or two on this two paced wicket.

 

[Ahmed216]

Batters 3-11 + Rauf completely bottled it tonight.

Even that run out chance that Mo Haris missed

 

[jusarrived]

Man Tilak is special. Always rated him higher than anyone else in this team

 

[Rajdeep]

Sept 14 - Operation sindoor

Sept 21 - 11 airbases

Sept 28 - Pak surrender

See ya next year

@Bhaag Viru Bhaag @The Bald Eagle @Devadwal

 

[ravisurya]

Tilak verma is the real deal. Need to get rid of the useless Samson.

 

[battler]

Kyu pakistaniyo? Aa gayi kaleje mein thand? Aur khelna hai?

 

[big_gamer007]

Congrats Indian posters

@Nikhil_cric @Devadwal @big_gamer007 and others

Good game though

This PCT deserves credit for the way they played their hearts out especially in the field.
With the limited talent they have, they performed beyond anyone’s expectations.

Congratulations to you all as well.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Have a feeling Rinku Singh will hit the winning runs.

I called it before the match.

RINKU SINGH FINISHES OFF IN STYLE! INDIA WIN THE ASIA CUP 2025!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

A box-office final.

Great game.

El Clasico - The Final Chapter ends.

 

[Suleiman]

Rauf should be banned from t20s. How is this fool still around after his epic 2022 t20 WC choke vs the same team

 

[Buffet]

At least this India Pakistan game was not one sided.

Pakistan pretty much bottled it in batting the lost the match there.

 

[mesmerizer85]

Politics has destroyed all departments of Pakistan including Cricket

How will people now watch the only sport we loved

 

[mominsaigol]

YEHHH, and than they hired @Devadwal on the basis of 2 day training

I still remember @Devadwal exact words even in his broken English

Ahhhh so this is where all Unemployment Wannabee hiding from me. If you know why I was inactive today, its cause I got job so won't be as active here from now on out.

and this is what he said to @Rajdeep

Bro I finally got job as railway driver for Indian railways, im so happy, greatest day of life, 2 days trainings starts now.

"Indian batting is only Abhishek Sharma"

"Not sure how a player like Axar gets to play International"

 

[mango_bite77]

Rauf hits 50 when everyone found difficult to score

 

[Devadwal]

Cup to mila ni tea cup jarur milega

 

[amvbfm]

Gonna be feast or famine

Sigh..

 

[OldWarHorse]

Great effort from the Pakistani bowlers, almost defended a much below par score. I'm just releived.

And finally whoever says no rivalry has no clue

 

[BDfanforever]

Thanks to BD we got a great game on our hands. Asia Cup Zindabad!

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Why would you still give the ball to Rauf? Salman should be sacked just for this if nothing else.

I would have honestly given it to Talat. Chalo.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Garbage team, Garbage management. We will always be Bunnies. Just give it up lads and watch football or some other sport instead.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This PCT deserves credit for the way they played their hearts out especially in the field.
With the limited talent they have, they performed beyond anyone’s expectations.

Congratulations to you all as well.

Not limited talent.

Limited mindset of PCB

 

[Buffet]

Rauf can't bowl according to plan. He jsut had to keep bowling wide to not get hit but he went searching for wickets.

 

[sweep_shot]

El Clasico - The Final Chapter ends.

First 2 games were one-sided. This one was a classic one.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Let's be honest Rauf was very poor.

But that suicide batting cost is the game.

That we even took it to last over was a miracle.

Indians batted like proper batsmen, and our guys committed hara-kiri ball after ball.

So blaming Rauf shouldn't paper over the shocking batting

 

[Savak]

Bad captaincy by Agha by not giving Talat an over or two on this two paced wicket.

Bad captaincy by Agha to include himself in the team. He should have been selfless like Chandimal and dropped himself from the team

 

[ameer219]

Rauf is a bloody useless bowler. I swear whoever backs him up for T20 world cup is asking to lose again. Idiot cannot even bowl to a plan.

 

[Asif321]

Oh man !

 

[prash88]

Pakistan played well!! With 180 they would have won comfortably like #CT17

 

[JaDed]

A Good Game, PCT didn't do basics right esp in Batting.

Dube played a blinder today, Varma was in form so did well

 

[jnaveen1980]

Anyboyd remembers this chase by Tilak early this year against England? That was absolute clutch

[kron]

It was a good match. India hsould shake hands and show courtesy atleast

To everyone except rauf and ashraf.

Anyway so stupid tbh. It’s not like the players fought in the war. Sky needs to be kicked out anyway.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

3 matches lost on the trot.. no handshakes.. Kara li beizzati.

 

[Devadwal]

Well Done, Tilak and Dube. Played too well when India was in a difficult spot. Tilak was there until the end to ensure India finishes this tinpot Pakistan team. Dube's unbeaten runs continue.

CHAK DE INDIA

 

[nish_mate]

I fear for Rauf and his family, hopefully the excited Pakistani fans do not abuse him much....

 

[Josh]

Wow Tilak! Respect for this man. Held his nerves under pressure. Clean innings! This match is absolute box office and Pakistani bowlers deserve an applause for putting breakers for this Indian batting line up. They should be proud. India needs to sort out Surya's role and his bad captaincy. This should have never gone to last over.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Rauf should just off himself

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Rinku singh the final boss

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

At least this India Pakistan game was not one sided.

Pakistan pretty much bottled it in batting the lost the match there.

160 could have been a winning total on this pitch

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What did I say about Indians being mental midgets when the going gets tough? We saw this in 2017, in 2023 against Australia and now. Big finals game, and with a whiff of challenge, they fold under pressure.

Indians only have bravado against Pakistan from a position of strength. When facing equal odds or from a challenging position, Indians fold against Pakistan.

Well. At least we have enough mental strength to beat PAK, SL, AFG type teams and dont choke against USA & Zimbabwe.

GG though. Hope PAK can make matches more competitive like this one

How fitting is this.. Rauf destroyed hahha and costing the game

 

[JaDed]

Rinku bhai ending with 400 SR lol

 

[mango_bite77]

Cant bowl, stop the sentence there only

 

[amvbfm]

I would have honestly given it to Talat. Chalo.

Give it to Talat, Saim, Nawaz anyone but Rauf. You have to be blind, or utterly stupid to do it.

 

[Asif321]

Anyways . Pakistan fought hard credit to them for fighting it out . Crap from middle order and raufale . Need to step up

 

[harshjoshi87]

Close final. Well played India. Tilak not Gill is the new Kohli.

 

[ravisurya]

Tilak Verma should be playing in all formats for India, amazing temperament.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sept 14 - Operation sindoor

Sept 21 - 11 airbases

Sept 28 - Pak surrender

See ya next year

@Bhaag Viru Bhaag @The Bald Eagle @Devadwal

Here comes the glory hunter. So, no boycott happened on Sep 14, 21, and 28?

 

[mominsaigol]

Good game though. Im happy both sides fought well excluding Rauf.

Onto Aus vs NZ series which im super excited for.

 

[Rajdeep]

Thia reminds me of Rock vs Stone cold WM 19 match

Sept 14 - one rock bottom
Sept 21 - two rock bottom
Sept 28 - three rock bottom

#PakSurrender

 

[LordJames]

Reporter: Kitnay Aadmi Thay?

Rauf: Bus Jee, Main Akeela Hi Kaafi Tha...

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Rauf should just off himself

Give him some Paper planes to enjoy the night

 

[sweep_shot]

Rinku faced only 1 ball in this Asia Cup and that went for a four. That was the winning run also.

I think he should've played all games.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Hard luck Pakistan. Gave us a heck of a run for our money.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

"Indian batting is only Abhishek Sharma"

"Not sure how a player like Axar gets to play International"

Hahaha who said that

 

[battler]

Haris Rauf's legacy is being owned by Kohli in 2022 and Tilak in 2025. That's what he will be remembered for @Devadwal
