Dubai: In the Asia Cup 2025, today India will face Pakistan in final match at 8 pm. This match will be super exciting and thrilling, because the both team face each other first time in the tournament final. Team India has performed exceptionally well since Suryakumar Yadav became the T20 captain.
Under Suryakumar Yadav's captaincy, India has won 24 out of 28 matches. Now, Surya has a chance to do something extraordinary in the final of the Asia Cup 2025. If Surya's magic works, history will be made. By hitting two sixes with the bat, he will join Rohit Sharma's elite club and, by leading Team India to the title, he will equal MS Dhoni in a special respect.
Captain Suryakumar Yadav
Under Surya's captaincy, India has won six consecutive matches in the Asia Cup 2025, while Pakistan has secured its place in the title race by winning four out of six matches. This is the first time in 41 years of the Asia Cup that India and Pakistan are facing each other in the final.
If Suryakumar Yadav hits two sixes against Pakistan in the final, scheduled to be held in Dubai at 8 pm, he will complete 150 sixes in T20 international cricket. He will become the second batsman from India and the fifth batsman in the world to achieve this feat. Rohit Sharma has previously achieved this feat for Team India.
Suryakumar Yadav also has a golden opportunity to equal former captain MS Dhoni by winning this final. So far, only Mahendra Singh Dhoni has led India to victory against Pakistan in a major tournament final, having led the team to the title in the 2007 T20 World Cup final. Now, Surya has a chance to win the title by defeating Pakistan in the final. If this happens, he will become the second Indian captain after Dhoni to achieve this feat.
Suryakumar Yadav has played 89 T20 matches for Team India and has scored 2,669 runs in 84 innings. He has a strike rate of 164.65 and an average of 37.59, including four centuries and 21 half-centuries. It is worth noting that Surya has hit 243 fours and 148 sixes in this format. Across all T20 formats (including IPL and leagues), Surya has scored 8,691 runs and hit 382 sixes in 331 matches. He is India's fourth-highest run-scorer in T20 cricket, behind Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shikhar Dhawan.
