In the Asia Cup 2025 finals played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets and won the title. This was the third consecutive win over the neighboring country of the Indian team in this tournament. Earlier, in the group-stage and super-four rounds, the Indian team also defeated Pakistan.
The atmosphere after the end of the match became more hot as Team India refused to take the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi. Mohsin Naqvi kept waiting on the stage for a long time, but the Indian players did not come to receive the trophy.
Indian players celebrated without the Asia Trophy. However, later Indian players shared special photos on their social media accounts. These photos were AI generated, in which the players were posing with the trophy. By doing this, the Indian players worked to show the mirror to the Pakistani team and Mohsin Naqvi.
The AI ​​trophy pictures of Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill won the hearts of Indian fans. Captain Surya shared AI photos with Tilak Verma and Trophy on his X account and wrote, “When the game is over, only the champion is remembered, not the picture of a player with the trophy.”
The Indian team won the Asia Cup in T20 format for the second time. Also, this was Team India’s total 9th ​​Asia Cup win. The Indian team has won the Asia Cup in the ODI format seven times. Tilak Verma’s adventure innings and Kuldeep Yadav’s killer bowling helped to win the Indian team in the title match against Pakistan.
Like Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill also enjoyed the Pakistani team. Shubman Gill shared a similar picture with Abhishek Sharma on his Instagram account. In the caption of Shubman’s post, he put laughter and trophy emoji.
Posts of Indian players have gone viral on social media. Fans are looking at this by linking it to the trophy controversy. Many users believe that this message of players directly shows Team India’s victory and being their real champion. India played seven matches in the Asia Cup 2025 and won all.
On the other hand, after the end of the title match, Mohsin Naqvi took the Asia Cup Trophy and medal to his hotel room. The Cricket Control Board of India (BCCI) expressed strong objection to this and said that the trophy should come to India because the champion has become their team. Mohsin Naqvi remained in controversy throughout the tournament and he got a lot of interference within the Pakistani team.
