Shubman Gill & Abhishek Sharma Pose With ‘Trophy’ After India Win Asia Cup 2025 Final | Cricket News

India’s T20I vice-captain Shubman Gill took to Instagram on Monday (September 29) to share a post in which he and Abhishek Sharma can be seen posing for a photo with a ‘trophy’. Since India refused to take the Asia Cup winner’s trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chief Mohsin Naqvi, who is also a central government minister in Pakistan, after a 5-wicket win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final on Sunday, September 28, Gill used the graphic of the trophy in his picture.

Gill’s post is now going viral on the internet.

Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who missed the final due to a niggle, also used the same trophy graphic in his Instagram post after India’s win.

Gill played all seven matches for India in Asia Cup 2025 but could only manage to score 127 runs. In the final, he made 12 runs from 10 balls.

On the other hand, Abhishek amassed a total of 314 runs in seven matches of Asia Cup 2025. The left-handed batter from Punjab won the Player of the Tournament award.

Speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony after India’s 5-wicket win in the final, Abhishek said, “Getting into this team after winning the World Cup, it wasn’t easy for any opener. But if you see, we had a plan that we want to play a game, that we have to show intent from the first ball. So that was my plan, I worked really hard on that. And if you’re playing like this, you need special support from your coach and captain. I think that was the one thing I was getting from them throughout the tournament, before this as well. So obviously, my plan was pretty much clear that, you know, if I do well, if I get that impact, and it’s for my team, my team should win. “

“Of course, I mean, if you want to play something like this, sometimes you will fail, but you have to keep the process going. And, you know, and that’s what I was getting from my team as well,” he added.
