India’s nail-biting victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 wasn’t just a cricketing triumph—it became a lesson in grit, focus, and belief. Anand Mahindra took to X to celebrate the Men in Blue, highlighting the team’s unshakeable confidence in the face of pressure. From early wickets to a tense chase, India held its nerve, turning the game around with calm determination. For Mahindra, the secret behind their success boils down to one word: self-belief.
Mahindra explained that self-belief acted as the team’s ultimate weapon. When the bowlers saw Pakistan’s openers racing ahead, they stayed focused, letting wickets tumble like "skittles". When India’s top batsmen fell early, the remaining players remained calm, methodically steering the chase to victory. He described it as “nerves of steel, ice in their veins,” emphasising that self-belief isn’t just a cricketing skill—it’s a trait that drives individuals and nations alike.
Through his post, Mahindra saluted Team India for demonstrating that with focus, composure, and confidence, even the toughest challenges can be overcome. For him, this wasn’t just a win on the field; it was a reminder that self-belief is a universal Brahmastra, capable of transforming outcomes both in sports and in life.

Fans flooded social media with excitement after India’s Asia Cup 2025 win. Many celebrated Tilak Varma’s match-winning performance, dubbing the victory “Operation Sindoor” and praising his brilliant turnaround under pressure. Observers also noted how Pakistan’s middle-order collapse highlighted the need for the team to return to practice. Additionally, some fans gave a nod of respect to commentators and personalities who captured the thrilling moments of the final with insightful remarks.
India's victory
The nation erupted in celebrations on Sunday night as India clinched the Asia Cup 2025 with a five-wicket win over Pakistan, their ninth title in the continental tournament. The victory sparked fireworks, street processions, and waves of tricolour across cities and towns, with social media overflowing with jubilation.
The Dubai International Stadium set the stage for yet another high-voltage India-Pakistan clash. Pakistan began aggressively, racing to 113/1 in just under 13 overs, driven by strong knocks from Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman. But what looked like a commanding position turned into a nightmare as Kuldeep Yadav led India’s bowling attack with a four-wicket burst. The collapse was dramatic—nine wickets tumbled for just 33 runs, leaving Pakistan bundled out for 146 in 19.1 overs.
India’s chase began shakily as Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma departed early, putting pressure on the middle order. Tilak Varma’s composed unbeaten 69 steadied the innings, while Shivam Dube’s late fireworks with towering sixes swung momentum decisively in India’s favour. The team crossed the target with two balls remaining, sealing a nerve-wracking yet memorable win.
Across India, the triumph transformed into a festival. On digital platforms, hashtags praising the team trended globally, while memes, reels, and emotional tributes highlighted the evening.
Beyond the cricketing glory, the win symbolised national pride and resilience. It underscored India’s ability to hold nerve in pressure situations, combining skill with composure. The Asia Cup victory not only added another feather to Team India’s cap but also fuelled anticipation for future global contests, where millions will once again rally behind the men in blue.
