Asia Cup 2025: On the Dubai ground, India once again proved who is the real king of Asia. Team India won the Asia Cup 2025 trophy by defeating Arch-revolution Pakistan by 5 wickets in the final. After this historic victory, BCCI announced to reward Rs 21 crore to the players and support staff. However, where there was a celebration of victory on the field, the controversy over the trophy was in the entire cricket world.

21 crore reward

Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, India won the seven matches in this tournament. That is, India did not lose a single match in this tournament. The brilliant performance of Tilak Verma and Kuldeep Yadav gave great strength to the Indian cricket team. After this victory, BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla wrote, ‘3-0 against Asia’s unbeatable champion, Pakistan, what a wonderful performance.’ BCCI secretary Devjit Saikia said, ‘This victory of India was extraordinary. In this happiness, a reward of Rs 21 crore will be given to the players and support staff. This is a matter of pride for the whole country.

Controversy related to trophy

However, a big controversy also arose amid the victory of Team India’s victory. Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi refused to give the trophy to the Indian team. The Indian team also made it clear that they will not take the trophy from Naqvi’s hands. As a result, the entire presentation ceremony remained incomplete and the Indian players returned from the ground without a photo session without the trophy.

BCCI decision

According to sources, BCCI had already told ACC that Team India will not take a trophy from their hands due to Naqvi’s anti-India thinking. This was the reason that the atmosphere became stressful after the match. BCCI is now going to take this matter serious. Saikia said, “In the ICC’s Dubai conference in November, we will register a strong protest against Naqvi.”

Celebration on the field

Despite the drama, the Indian players landed on the field with their familys and celebrated the victory. The family of Captain Suryakumar Yadav’s wife Devisha and coach Gautam Gambhir were also part of this celebration. While this victory of India won the hearts of crores of fans, the trophy controversy also faded the brightness of the Asia Cup slightly. Yes, but India won a stunning victory on the field and the real glory of the Asia Cup 2025 was named after the blue jersey.
