Indian cricketers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill recently celebrated India`s Asia Cup 2025 victory with a heartwarming display of friendship. India secured their ninth Asia Cup title by defeating Pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling final match. After winning the toss and choosing to bowl, Suryakumar Yadav`s team successfully restricted Pakistan to 146 runs, largely thanks to Kuldeep Yadav`s impressive four-wicket haul. During their chase, India faced a challenging start, losing three wickets for just 20 runs, but Tilak Varma`s outstanding unbeaten knock of 69 runs ultimately guided them to victory with two balls remaining.
Following this triumph, opening batsman Abhishek Sharma was named Player of the Tournament, having scored a remarkable 314 runs across 7 matches. As his reward, the 25-year-old was presented with a luxurious Haval H9 SUV, valued at approximately INR 35 lakh.
To mark this special occasion, Abhishek and his fellow opener and close friend from Punjab, Shubman Gill, captured their joy by taking selfies together inside the new SUV.
A video of their celebratory moment quickly spread across social media, captivating fans and highlighting their strong bond.
Abhishek Sharma Reflects on the Win and His Performance
“Getting a car is always a pleasure.”
“Of course, joining this team after winning the World Cup wasn`t easy for any opener. But we had a clear strategy to play with intent from the very first ball. I dedicated a lot of effort to this plan. To play this way, you truly need exceptional support from your coach and captain.”
“That support was consistent throughout the tournament, and even before. So, my objective was very clear: if I performed well and made an impact, it was for the team, and the team should win. Naturally, when you aim to play with such an aggressive style, you might fail sometimes, but it`s crucial to maintain the process.”
