Bangladesh registered a thrilling victory over India in the semi-final match of Asia Cup Rising Stars. Bangladesh won this match which lasted till Super Over with the help of wide ball. In fact, in the Super Over, India had lost both its wickets without scoring any runs. Bangladesh had to score only one run to win the super over. Suyyash Sharma bowled a wide ball, due to which one run was added to Bangladesh’s scorecard and they entered the final. But what was the real reason for this shameful defeat of India?

India lost because of this mistake

By scoring 3 runs on the last ball of the innings, the Indian batsmen somehow took the match to the super-over. The Indian team had a golden opportunity to reach the finals, but the Indian management made a big mistake in the Super Over.

The Indian team sent Jitesh Sharma and Ramandeep Singh to bat. On one hand, Jitesh Sharma has not started batting since the first match of the tournament, while Ramandeep Singh is also not known for hitting very big shots.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was not sent

When the Super Over situation came, the Indian team should have started with both its regular opening batsmen Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya. Suryavanshi batted at a stormy strike rate of around 244 in the entire tournament. In the semi-final match against Bangladesh, he started swinging the bat on the very first ball and hit 2 sixes in the first 3 balls of the innings. When the team needed Suryavanshi the most, he was not brought to bat.

On the other hand, Priyansh Arya had played an inning of 44 runs in 23 balls in this match. Priyansh, who hit 4 fours and 3 sixes, also seemed to be in good touch. Ignoring all this, the management started the super over with Jitesh Sharma and Ramandeep Singh. This can be called a big ‘blunder’ of the Indian team.

IND A vs PAK A: The match between India and Pakistan A in the Men’s Rising Star Asia Cup 2025 has been completely engulfed in controversies. In this match played in Doha, Pakistan A registered an easy victory by 8 wickets. However, an incident happened during the match which made the blood of cricket fans boil. The indecent act done by Pakistan bowler Saad Masood after dismissing Naman Dheer is considered against the spirit of the game.

The player misbehaved by dismissing Naman Dheer

Saad Masood was bowling his 9th over for Pakistan A. Indian batsman Naman Dheer was present at the crease. Naman Dheer was caught out on the fourth ball of Saad’s over. As soon as Naman moved towards the pavilion, Saad Masood looked at him angrily and signaled him to go out. The camera captured this action on the field and the video quickly went viral on social media. Indian fans and many veteran players have described this behavior as ‘inappropriate’ and ‘shameful’.

Suryakumar Yadav’s match fee

According to the rules of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Indian players get a match fee of Rs 4 lakh per match in T20 international matches. In the Asia Cup 2025, the Indian team has played a total of seven matches. This means that Suryakumar Yadav’s total match fee was around 28 lakh rupees.

But Suryakumar Yadav did not spend this wealth only for himself. He has decided to donate this entire amount to the Indian Army and Pahalgam terrorist attack victims. This step not only gave him respect among cricket lovers, but also showed that players can also use their earnings in social service.

Haris Rauf’s match fee and fine

At the same time, Pakistan fast bowler Harris Rauf imposed a 30% fine of the match fee for violating the code of conduct. This fine has been fixed due to his aggressive behavior and indecent language on the field. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that the board paid the amount of fine personally.

Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief Uddhav Thackeray has made a big statement on the India-Pakistan cricket match in Dubai. He said that those who saw this match are traitors. Uddhav said that I did not see this match as a patriot. This statement of Shiv Sena UBT Chief has caused a new debate about patriotism.

Since the Pahalgam attack, India is constantly being strictly behaved against Pakistan. As soon as the India-Pakistan match schedule in the Asia Cup came, the country started demanding to buy it in many parts. The Shiv Sena (UBT) opposition parties were constantly attacking the central government on this issue. Uddhav Thackeray said that patriotism cannot be limited to watching matches only. He said that being active at the right time in the national interest is true patriotism.

State government surrounds the issue of farmers

He targeted the state government on floods and farmers’ issues in Maharashtra. He told that the Chief Minister of the state and both the Deputy Chief Minister have no plans to save Maharashtra from floods. He alleged that the state government is only busy with its branding. Uddhav Thackeray claimed that Ajit Pawar is seen isolated in the Maharashtra government.

‘Center is ignoring Maharashtra’

The Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief accused the Modi government of the Center of ignoring Maharashtra. He said, “I think four-five days ago, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis went to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. From there, he came to wait for the proposal of the Prime Minister. There is election in Bihar and the Prime Minister has given Rs 10,000 to every woman there. Maharashtra is in crisis and elections are in Bihar, so you are looking towards Bihar and ignoring Maharashtra.

Mohsin Naqvi remains the center of very big controversy at this time. After the Asia Cup final, he left the trophy instead of giving the trophy to the champion Team India. Naqvi is currently chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board, Chairman of Asian Cricket Council as well as Home Minister in the Government of Pakistan. Amidst the Asia Cup Trophy controversy, Shahid Afridi has advised that Mohsin Naqvi should leave one post.

In a conversation with Telecom Asia, former Pakistan all -rounder Shahid Afridi has demanded that Bada Naqvi of the Asia Cup controversy should step down. He said, “My advice or urge to Mohsin Naqvi Saheb is that you have 2 very important posts. These are very big posts and ask for equal separately. PCB and Ministry of Home Affairs have two different areas, so they should be kept separate. This is a very important decision, which should be taken soon.”

They do not know anything about cricket …

Afridi also said that Mohsin Naqvi should not be completely dependent on the advisors. Afridi says that Naqvi himself has agreed that she does not have much knowledge of cricket. The Pakistani veteran said, “They should keep such advisors who have a good understanding of cricket.”

Afridi’s statement is seen in the form that he is not satisfied with Mohsin Naqvi holding 2 positions, but his warnings have been constantly ignored. Sources have also told that Afridi has also told the Army Chief of the country that Naqvi should leave another post to pay proper attention to only one post.

The Congress on Monday sarcasted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks. The party said that the Prime Minister needs to learn from the Indian cricket team that when close to victory, good captains do not fight at the behest of a third umpire. Prime Minister Modi said after India’s victory against Pakistan in the Asia Cup final on Sunday (September 28, 2025) that ‘Operation Sindoor’ was done in the playground too and India also won.

Congress retaliation
Pawan Kheda, the head of the Congress media department, posted on ‘X’, ‘Prime Minister, the first thing is not right to compare the cricket match with the war. Secondly, if you have compared, then you need to learn from the Indian team that when close to victory, then good captains do not ceasefire at the behest of a third umpire. Kheda was indicated by US President Donald Trump’s claim in which he had asked for India-Pakistan ceasefire in May.

Asia Cup in a stressful atmosphere
The Asia Cup between India and Pakistan was organized when the border tension between the two countries was at its peak after the death of 26 people in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. For this reason, Indian players refused to join hands with Pakistani players during the entire tournament.

Refusal to take the trophy
After winning the final, the Indian team, captained by Suryakumar Yadav, also refused to take the Asia Cup Trophy PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi. Naqvi had filed a complaint with the ICC regarding this behavior.

Naqvi’s objectionable post
PCB president Mohsin Naqvi also shared objectionable posts on social media, in which the claim of Pakistan’s claim to demolish Indian fighter jets was promoted. However, no evidence of this claim was presented.

Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has decided to donate the entire match fee from the Asia Cup to the victims of the Indian Armed Forces and Pahalgam terror attack. After the first match played with Pakistan in the Asia Cup, Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bhardwaj challenged Team India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav. Now after trampling Pakistan in the final, the BJP leader targeted Saurabh Bhardwaj.

BJP challenged Saurabh Bhardwaj

BJP leader Ajay Alok shared an old video to Saurabh Bhardwaj on X. In this, the AAP leaders are saying, “If Suryakumar Yadav is your status, then you give a second challenge to you as much money you have earned in the business of cricket, give all the money to those 26 widows. We will also agree.” On this, the BJP leader wrote, “If your status is Saurabh Babu, then show his one month’s salary, the Indian captain has shown it.”

Sky decided to donate match fees

India won the Asia Cup by defeating Pakistan by five wickets on Sunday. Suryakumar wrote on X after the match, “I have decided to donate my entire match fees from this tournament to the victims of our armed forces and Pahalgam terrorist attacks. You are always in my thoughts. Jai Hind.”

Indian players get four lakh rupees in every match in T20 format i.e. Suryakumar Yadav will get Rs 28 lakh for seven matches of the tournament. The Indian team did not join hands with Pakistani players throughout the tournament. Team India’s captain Suryakumar dedicated the victory over Pakistan in the first group match on 14 September to the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack and the Indian armed forces.

Pakistan had filed a complaint with the ICC by accusing him of making political statements and also demanded a ban on him. The ICC had asked them to avoid such statements by imposing 30 per cent of the match fees on that day.
