The Indian cricket team’s victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final has sparked jubilation across India. The win, which saw India defeat Pakistan by 5 wickets, marks the team’s 9th Asia Cup title. Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media to congratulate the team, using the phrase ‘Operation Sindoor’ to describe the win. The reference is connected to a recent military operation where Indian forces dismantled Pakistani military installations. This Asia Cup was surrounded by controversy, but the Indian team secured three consecutive wins against Pakistan, with the final victory being the most significant. In the final, Pakistan scored 146 runs, with Sahibzada Farhan scoring 57 and Fakhar Zaman scoring 46. Kuldeep Yadav took 4 wickets. India then responded by losing three early wickets before Tilak Verma’s unbeaten 69 helped secure the win, with contributions from Shivam Dube and Sanju Samson.
