Asia Cup 2025, IND vs PAK: Team India’s star spinner Kuldeep Yadav once again showed why he’s one of the most dangerous bowlers in white-ball cricket. Bowling against Pakistan, he bagged 3 wickets while keeping things extremely tight—but fell agonizingly short of a hattrick.
Kuldeep’s magic spell against Pakistan
Kuldeep Yadav finished his spell with figures of 3 wickets for just 18 runs in 4 overs. He dismissed Shahibzada Farhan, Mohammad Nawaz, and Hasan Nawaz, breaking Pakistan’s rhythm in the middle overs.
What really lit up the game was his 13th over. On the fourth ball, Kuldeep got Hasan Nawaz caught by Axar Patel for just 5 runs. The very next ball, he trapped Mohammad Nawaz for a duck, LBW. Suddenly, he was on a hattrick.
But Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf managed to survive the hattrick ball, denying Kuldeep a moment that would have blown the roof off Dubai.

A continuation of top form
This wasn’t the first time Kuldeep made headlines in this tournament. In India’s opening match against UAE, he had already bagged 4 wickets, making him the highest wicket-taker for India in that game. Clearly, the left-arm chinaman is enjoying top form in the Asia Cup 2025.
Fans loved the energy he brought against Pakistan, with social media buzzing after his two-in-two delivery burst. Many even shared the video clips of that fiery over, calling it “vintage Kuldeep.”

India’s spin trump card
Kuldeep has been India’s go-to man in pressure situations, and performances like this remind everyone why. His ability to attack in the middle overs, choke runs, and pick up big wickets makes him a priceless asset.
Although the hattrick didn’t come this time, his spell made a huge difference in keeping Pakistan’s batting in check.
