Ravi Shastri Slams Asia Cup Organisers Over Delayed Presentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ravi Shastri, former India all-rounder and head coach<\/a>, criticised the Asia Cup 2025 organisers after Suryakumar Yadav\u2019s team was forced to \u201cwait 45 minutes\u201d for the post-match presentation following India\u2019s final victory over Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium. Tilak Varma\u2019s unbeaten 69 off 53 balls guided India to a five-wicket win with two balls to spare, securing their record-extending ninth Asia Cup title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the celebrations were marred as the ceremony was delayed. The Indian camp refused to accept the trophy from ACC head Mohsin Naqvi, who is also chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Pakistan\u2019s Interior Minister. Naqvi maintained a poker face on the presentation dais, abstaining from presenting any awards while the Pakistan players received their runners-up medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony ended prematurely when broadcaster Simon Doull announced that India would not receive their winners\u2019 medals. Naqvi then left the stage and exited the stadium, reportedly taking the trophy with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during a live discussion with former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram on Sony Sports Network, Shastri expressed his frustration. \u201cThe players are being made to wait to lift the trophy and for the presentation ceremony to happen. This is ridiculous. The crowd is ready, they are making noise,\u201d he said.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, \u201cThe game is worthy of a final, then you hang around for 45 minutes after the close of the game, still not knowing what’s happening. Ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chasing 147 in the Asia Cup 2025 final, India found themselves in early trouble at 20\/3. Tilak Varma rose to the occasion, producing one of the greatest pressure innings of the tournament with an unbeaten 69-run knock to guide India over the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tilak received crucial support from Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube, who contributed valuable 24 and 33-run knocks, respectively. The match-winning runs came from Rinku Singh, who struck a boundary off the first ball he faced in the tournament.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Pakistan had collapsed from 113\/1 to 146 all out in the 20th over. Kuldeep Yadav spearheaded India\u2019s bowling attack, claiming four key wickets\u2014including Saim Ayub, Salman Agha, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Faheem Ashraf\u2014to trigger the collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
