‘Heart rate was at its peak’: Former Indian cricketer SHOCKING verdicts on India vs Pakistan Asia Cup final clash

After the historic match of the India vs Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar expressed his feeling and shared that his heart was beating really fast while watching the clash. The Indian team chased 147 runs and won the match with just two balls remaining. Team India beat their arch-rivals for the third time in a row against Pakistan in the tournament and ninth time overall.

However, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar shared his feelings in an interview with India Today. ”Heart rate was at its peak; it felt like it’d burst anytime.“

While chasing the target the Indian openers Abhishek Sharma and vice captain Shubman Gill struggled and got out quickly  which put pressure on the middle-order early in the match.

Gavaskar shared his thoughts on the match, saying that India’s top-order tried to score runs too quickly, even though the target was small. Because of this approach, they lost their wickets easily, which gave Pakistan a chance to get back into the game and made everyone watching feel nervous.

“What we saw in the first three dismissals was hard to comprehend because it wasn’t a big target where you’d have to look to score on every delivery. What you needed was to get a nice solid start, not necessarily a 60 or a 50 in the first six overs, but maybe even a 35-40; that’s what you needed. But they were 20/3; that’s what opened the door for Pakistan, that’s what got everyone nervous.”

”If the bowling is very good and the bowler gets you out, then it’s another matter. But here the batters were looking to play shots which were not required, that does cause a fair bit of nervousness,” he added.
