India’s hero of Asia Cup 2025 final Tilak Varma continues to land body blows on Pakistan after a memorable innings with the bat at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday night. Chasing 147 to win the title, India were in a spot of bother after losing three wickets cheaply before an ice-cool Varma dropped anchor to rebuild the innings and then hit an unbeaten half-century to secure five-wicket triumph.
For his game-changing 69* off 53, an inning featuring three fours and four sixes, Varma was chosen as player-of-the-final.
Post the victory, the 22-year-old reshared Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s viral post on X before schooling Pakistan with a six-word statement on Instagram.
“Talking is easy, winning takes character," Varma wrote.
