Asia Cup 2025: Who Said What after India vs Pakistan, Super Fours, Match 2

India bagged a comfortable six-wicket win over Pakistan in the Super Fours clash in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 campaign at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday, September 21.

Pakistan, after losing the toss, batted first and posted a good-looking total of 171/5 in 20 overs. Opener Sahibzada Farhan was the top scorer, amassing 58 runs in 45 balls with five fours and three sixes. For India, Shivam Dube scalped two important wickets.

In the chase, India required only 18.5 overs to finish off the game with six wickets remaining. Openers Abhishek Sharma (74) and Shubman Gill (47) were exceptional in the second innings.

On that note, let’s take a look at who said what after the India vs Pakistan game.

Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav

The way the boys are stepping up in every game, it's making my job very easy. The boys showed a lot of character. They were calm after the first 10 overs (of India's bowling innings). After drinks, I told them the game starts now. That's fine, he's not a robot, he will have a bad day someday (talking about Bumrah). Dube bailed us out of the situation. They complement each other really well (Abhishek and Gill). It's like a fire and ice combination. After the first innings, our fielding coach - T Dilip, emailed all players who had butter fingers today.

Pakistan captain Salman Agha

We are yet to play a perfect game, but we are getting there. A great game but in the powerplay they took the game away from us. Looking back with the position we were in after 10 overs, we could have got 10-15 more. 170-180 is a good total but in the powerplay they batted well, that was the difference. If you see the bowlers are going for runs, you need to change it, that's how it goes in T20s. There's a lot of positives - the way Fakhar batted, Farhan batted and Harry bowled. Looking forward to the next game against Sri Lanka.

Player of the match Abhishek Sharma

Today was pretty simple, the way they were coming out to us without any reason, I did not like it at all. That's why I went after them. I wanted to deliver for the team. (on his stand with Gill) We have been playing since school days, we enjoy each other's company, we thought we would do it and today was the day. The way he was giving it back, I really enjoyed it. If you see someone playing like this, it's because the team supports me and they back me. That's the intent I show and I'm practicing really hard and if it's my day, I'm gonna win it for my team.
