‘Operation Sindoor On The Games Field’: PM Modi Congratulates Team India For Record Ninth Asia Cup Title
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to India's famous victory in Operation Sindoor as he heaped praises on the national cricket team after it captured the Asia Cup crown for the ninth time with a five-wicket win over Pakistan in a gripping final at the Dubai International Stadium here on Sunday.
India’s success was scripted first by their spinners, with Kuldeep Yadav spearheading a stunning turnaround on a two-paced pitch. From 113/1 in the 13th over, Pakistan crumbled to 146 all out in 19.1 overs, losing their last nine wickets for just 33 runs.
Kuldeep, who conceded 23 runs in his first two overs, came back to take four wickets for seven in his next two, including three scalps in a game-changing 17th over. He was backed by Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy, who took two apiece, while Jasprit Bumrah chipped in with two at the death.
