Dubai, Sep 29 (NationPress) The spin contingent of India took center stage in the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan, with Kuldeep Yadav underscoring the significance of bowling during the middle overs and the advantage of utilizing multiple spinners simultaneously.

“Bowling in the middle overs is crucial. Collaborating together is a privilege we enjoy. Each of us has a distinct role,” Kuldeep stated post-match, showcasing the strategic teamwork that was pivotal to India's bowling success.

Initially, Pakistan made a strong start, reaching 100 for 1 in just over 10 overs, which put India in a challenging position early in the innings. Nevertheless, the bowlers regained control for India.

“They got off to a fantastic start. After 10-11 overs, they were 100-1. We realized that if we could claim a few wickets, it would become challenging for the new batsmen to score runs,” Kuldeep shared, reflecting on the tactical approach behind India’s bowling, particularly how disrupting partnerships in the middle overs can alter the game's momentum during crucial moments.

Kuldeep also shared insights into his bowling strategy. “In my first over, I aimed to take wickets,” he noted, demonstrating the intensity and focus that led to a downturn in Pakistan’s batting performance.

The spinners, aided by the pace bowlers, adeptly capitalized on pressure situations, securing vital wickets at key intervals and limiting Pakistan to a modest score.

India’s bowlers collectively ensured that Pakistan’s promising start did not convert into a significant total, keeping the chase manageable for the batsmen. Kuldeep’s focus on roles, strategy, and execution highlights the depth and equilibrium of India’s bowling attack.

Ultimately, the spinners, with Kuldeep at the forefront, were instrumental in India’s five-wicket victory over Pakistan, clinching their ninth Asia Cup title. This performance underscores the profound impact of disciplined and intelligent bowling in high-pressure scenarios.
