28 Sep
Summary
- Gavaskar confident in Indian batting lineup for Asia Cup 2025 final
- Abhishek Sharma tipped to score century after near-misses
- Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, and Hardik Pandya also in focus

As the highly anticipated Asia Cup 2025 final approaches, former Indian cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar has issued a stern warning to the Pakistani bowlers. Gavaskar, speaking to India Today, has backed India's batting lineup to deliver a match-winning performance against their arch-rivals.
The legendary batter has highlighted several key Indian players who he believes can make a significant impact in the final. Gavaskar has singled out Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, and Hardik Pandya as batters who are "due for runs" and can provide the necessary firepower to overwhelm the Pakistani attack.
Gavaskar has also tipped Abhishek Sharma to score a much-awaited century in the final, noting that the young all-rounder has missed out on the milestone a couple of times already. Sharma has already played a match-winning knock of 74 in the Super 4 stage, guiding India to a target of 172, and Gavaskar believes he is primed to deliver another big innings, possibly even a three-figure score.
With the Asia Cup 2025 final just days away, Gavaskar's confidence in India's batting prowess will undoubtedly provide a morale boost to the team as they prepare to take on their Pakistani rivals in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
