India spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who finished the Asia Cup 2025 with 17 wickets, described Pakistan as “a team of kids” in the continental showpiece, that concluded on Sunday. India dominated the tournament like they have been doing over the years, winning all the seven matches, including three against Pakistan – group stage, Super 4s and final.
Having warmed the benches during India’s entire Test tour of England, Kuldeep was angry and hungry at the same time to perform. In seven matches, Kuldeep took two four-fers, including one in the final against Pakistan. He finished as the highest wicket-taker in the Asia Cup 2025.
“Pakistan didn’t include their trump card, Shadab Khan. He is currently Pakistan’s most dangerous spinner and a good batsman too. Kuldeep bola ye school ke bachhe utha ke le aaye,” Kuldeep’s coach Kapil Dev Pandey told TOI while recalling his chat with his ward during the Asia Cup 2025.
