US EditionPakistan Can't Be Considered Rivals Anymore, Says India Captain Suryakumar
India's dominant performance against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 led Suryakumar Yadav to state the historic cricket rivalry has become one-sided and effectively ended.
- India secured a victory over Pakistan by six wickets during their Super Four encounter in the Asia Cup 2025, which took place on September 21 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
- The match followed a longstanding India-Pakistan cricket rivalry that has become one-sided amid stalled bilateral ties since 2012 caused by political tensions.
- Pakistan scored 171/5 with Sahibzada Farhan making 58 runs, but Indian openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill built a 105-run partnership that led India to chase the target in 18.5 overs.
- Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav dismissed the notion of a rivalry, stating, "this is not a rivalry anymore," due to India’s overwhelming 7-0 winning streak over Pakistan since 2022.
- This result reinforces India's dominance while Pakistan’s captain Salman Agha acknowledged the need for a perfect game and looked ahead to their next match against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi.
