Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, And Jitesh Sharma Mock Abrar Ahmed Following India’s Asia Cup Victory

Indian cricketers Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Jitesh Sharma playfully trolled Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed following India's thrilling five-wicket win to clinch the 2025 Asia Cup trophy.

Standing near the boundary ropes, the three players, who did not feature in the final, imitated Ahmed's signature celebration - crossing their hands and shaking their heads with exaggerated expressions signaling "Get out." The clip, uploaded by Arshdeep Singh on his Instagram, also included Sanju Samson, who scored 20 runs in the match. However, the Kerala star appeared largely uninterested as the camera panned to him.

India secured their ninth Asia Cup title thanks to Tilak Varma's match-winning 69 off 53 balls*. Chasing 147, India were in early trouble at 20/3 after Shaheen Shah Afridi and Faheem Ashraf exploited the conditions with clever slower deliveries to dismiss Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill cheaply.

Tilak steadied the innings with two crucial partnerships - 57 runs with Sanju Samson (24) and 60 runs with Shivam Dube (33 off 21 balls) - blending composure and aggression to keep India on track. The game swung decisively in the 15th over when Haris Rauf conceded 17 runs, with Tilak's straight drives and pull shots adding to Pakistan's woes. Rauf eventually finished with 50 runs in 3.4 overs, including a six into the mid-wicket stands in the final over, before Rinku Singh sealed the chase with a boundary.

Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav (4/30) triggered a stunning collapse, reducing Pakistan from 113/1 to 146 all out. Openers Fakhar Zaman (46) and Sahibzada Farhan (57) provided a solid start, but once Kuldeep removed Saim Ayub, the Indian spin trio of Kuldeep, Axar Patel (2/26), and Varun Chakravarthy (2/30) strangled the middle order.

Jasprit Bumrah contributed with two late wickets, including Haris Rauf, whom he dismissed with a half plane-crash celebration, adding spice to an already intense India-Pakistan rivalry.
