In a breathtaking twist at the Asia Cup 2025 final, India’s spinners turned the game on its head, dismantling Pakistan’s batting lineup and putting the Men in Blue firmly in control of the trophy chase. Fans witnessed a masterclass in spin bowling, as Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Varun Chakravarthy orchestrated a collapse that will be remembered for years.
Pakistan Starts Strong… Until the Spinners Strike
Pakistan began their innings with confidence, racing past 80 runs without losing a single wicket. The momentum suggested a high-scoring total, with fans expecting fireworks from the Pakistani top order.
But when India introduced their spin trio, the match script changed instantly. The bowlers combined for 8 wickets, triggering a dramatic collapse that saw Pakistan lose 7 wickets for just 50 runs. The sudden turnaround left players and spectators in awe.
Kuldeep Yadav: The Star of the Show
Kuldeep Yadav stole the limelight with a sensational spell, claiming four wickets. His deadly variations completely baffled the Pakistani middle order.
Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy complemented him perfectly, each picking up two crucial wickets while maintaining relentless pressure. Pakistani batsmen struggled to read the turning and dipping deliveries, often finding the ball in fielders’ hands or being bowled out.
An excellent bowling performance 👌
