Ravi Shastri-Waqar Younis, Asia Cup Final Toss: In the final of the Asia Cup 2025, separate presenter for the two captains was placed in the toss presentation before the match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav was interviewed by Ravi Shastri, while Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga interacted with Waqar Yunus.
In this match, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bowl first. By the way, at the time of the toss, Ravi Shastri herself told that he is with Waqar Younis. After all, why were there two separate-cantors, what is the reason for this? No official reason has been revealed on this.
India Choose the Chase with the 🏆 on the line 🇮🇳

But it is clear that after India refuses to join hands, Pakistan has said that they will not talk to Indian commentators. For this reason, two different commentators were in the fray due to the tension seen in both countries. In this match, the Bhoomi Richardson, the Bhoomi of the match referee, was married.
At the same time, Hardik had to sit out due to a slight injury (swallow) in this match. Harshit and Arshdeep also remained out of the playing XI. Rinku Singh and Shivam Dubey were included in the team.
By the way, the team has won 9 of the last 10 T20 matches between the two countries, which has chased the target. The exception was only for the low -score T20 World Cup 2024 match played in New York. Talking about the tournament finals, Pakistan is ahead of India 8-4. In the finals with five or more of these, Pakistan is ahead 3-2, the last example of which is the final of the Champions Trophy 2017.
Special coincidence associated with Shivam Dub
At the same time, there is also a pleasant coincidence with the Indian, whenever Shivam Dubey has played in 33 complete T20 matches. India has won every time. This series started from December 2019.
India’s playing xi: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaspreet Bumrah, Varun Chakraborty.
Pakistan’s playing XI: Sahibzada Farhan, Fakhar Zaman, Sam Ayub, Salman Aga (captain), Hussain Talat, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed.
