India won the Asia Cup for the 9th time, and the BCCI shared a video on its official website showing Kuldeep Yadav being awarded for his brilliant performance in the tournament. He took 17 wickets in 7 matches and delivered a match-winning performance by taking four wickets in the final.
With this triumph, India retained the Asia Cup. Despite early wickets, India managed to calm the situation with a tidy performance from Shivam Dube, who formed a 53-run partnership with Tilak Varma.
Sanju Samson, who got fewer opportunities in the whole tournament, also contributed with the bat and made a 57-run partnership with Tilak.
Pakistan started brilliantly but couldn’t manage to stop losing wickets. They played like schoolboys, and without building partnerships, they tried to go for long shots; that’s where luck favoured India.
Despite Hardik Pandya's unavailability, Shivam Dube did the job well, and Ri
nku Singh, who came in as a replacement, played his first match today. He hit the winning runs with a boundary.
Spin played a crucial role on this two-paced track in Dubai as Pakistan lost 8 wickets against 13 overs of spin; they managed to score only 95 runs. Kuldeep Yadav took four crucial wickets, including Saim Ayub and captain Salman Agha.
Kuldeep Yadav gave his best performance against the UAE, where he took 4 wickets in just 2.3 overs. He also took 3 wickets against Pakistan in the group stage. In the video, he said that he wants to continue his game with the same intensity.
