Team India spinner Kuldeep Yadav was the man o fthe moment in the Asia Cup final 2025 fiollowing his 4 wickets haul against Pakistan. The left arm spinner broke the spine of Pakistan middle order with three wickets in single over. Only the top three batters were able to reach the double digit score while rest of the batters could only manage single digit score. Kuldeep Yadav broke the record for most wickets in a single Asia Cup edition after picking up four wickets during the final.

His first victim was Salman, who charged down the pitch to a tossed-up delivery on leg stump but failed to reach the pitch of the ball. The mistimed shot flew off the toe-end, and Sanju Samson, showing great awareness and athleticism, completed a forward-diving catch at mid-wicket.

With Pakistan wobbling, Kuldeep continued to weave his magic. Up next was Shaheen Afridi, who misread a googly pitched full outside off and walked across his stumps, attempting a swing across the line. The ball thudded into his front pad, and despite initial doubts about the line, a successful review confirmed it was crashing into leg stump another breakthrough for India.

The collapse worsened with Faheem Ashraf’s bizarre dismissal. Presented with a full, loopy delivery outside off, he seemed caught in two minds neither committing to the loft nor keeping it grounded and ended up chipping it straight to long-off where Tilak Varma made no mistake. With that, Pakistan had lost seven wickets for just 21 runs. handing India complete advantage eof the match.
