\u201cOur players not only dominated on the field but also gave a fitting response to Pakistan, which has become a supporter of terrorism. Today, this country is transformed. It is no longer a nation that tolerates terrorism while maintaining relations,\u201d Naqvi said, reacting to India\u2019s five-wicket win in Dubai on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India defeated Pakistan in a thrilling final at the Dubai International Stadium, where Pakistan had a strong start, reaching 113\/1 in 12.4 overs, before suffering a dramatic collapse. Spearheaded by Kuldeep Yadav\u2019s 4\/30, India bowled Pakistan out for just 146 in 19.1 overs. In reply, India chased the target with Tilak Varma\u2019s unbeaten 69 and Shivam Dube\u2019s late fireworks, sealing the win with two balls to spare and claiming their ninth Asia Cup title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reacting to the triumph, BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma said the Indian team had once again upheld the nation\u2019s honour on the international stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAn Indian citizen fights for the unity and integrity of India, whether on the battlefield or the cricket pitch. We have defeated Pakistan not just once, but hundreds of times,\u201d Sharma said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also praised the Indian team\u2019s bold decision to refuse accepting the Asia Cup trophy and medals from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi, who also heads the Pakistan Cricket Board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe had to show the world that we stand on the pitch not for awards, but for India's pride. We stand on the pitch for the chants of victory for Mother India. India has won thousands of trophies and has become a world champion many times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
MLA Ratnakar Mishra also extended congratulations to the team and the nation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cFirst of all, heartfelt wishes and congratulations to the Indian players who defeated Pakistan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
MLA Ratnakar Mishra also extended congratulations to the team and the nation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India\u2019s Asia Cup 2025 victory is not just being seen as a sporting milestone but as a moment of national assertion a message of strength in every arena, from cricket to diplomacy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
