Shubman Gill, India’s vice-captain, lit up the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match against Pakistan with both his bat and his confidence on Sunday, September 21 in Dubai. In the third over of India’s chase, Gill went after Pakistan’s strike bowler Shaheen Afridi, followed by an angry gesture.
Afridi pitched a length ball outside off, seeking to limit the score. Gill, who was already in good form, advanced down the track and blasted the ball past extra cover for a superb boundary. Gill glanced directly at Afridi and motioned with his palm as the bowler walked back to his mark, indicating in the area where the ball had sped away.

Opener Sahibzada Farhan played the anchor role with a composed 58 off 45 deliveries, while the rest of the batting order chipped in with useful cameos. For India, Shivam Dube was the standout bowler, claiming two key wickets. Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav supported with one wicket apiece, ensuring Pakistan did not get away with a bigger total.
Chasing 172, India got off to a flying start, racing to 69 inside the powerplay overs.
Gill and Abhishek Sharma’s aggressive stroke play set the tone for the chase and did not let the Pakistan bowlers to settle in. With the asking rate always under control, India appeared to be cruising towards yet another victory against their arch-rivals.
This fixture carried added tension and hype after India’s convincing seven-wicket win over Pakistan in the group stage.

Since that clash on September 14, the build-up to the Super Four rematch has been intense, with fans and pundits eagerly waiting for another chapter in the rivalry.
