Team India put it past Pakistan in the final of the Asia Cup 2025 on Sunday to successfully defend their title in the United Arab Emirates with a 5-wicket win.

Arshdeep Singh and Tilak Varama were seen exchanging a few words following the triumph as they recreated the famous trope.

“Final match you perform, what happening?” the pacer quizzed.

“Nothing happening. There is no one to say. The ground is empty,” Varma blurted out.

“Final match you perform, what happening?” Arshdeep prompted again.

“Lot of happening. Winning, celebration and a lot of happening,” the southpaw who came up with a match-winning knock of 69 runs on the day said.

Arshdeep also took the question to Abhishek Sharma and altered it to fit the batter’s incredible showing at the tournament save for the final game.

“Full tournament you perform, what hapenning?”

“Final match what hapenning?” Sharma said.

“Full tournament you perform, what hapenning?” Arshdeep reiterated.

“Good happening. Final match, sometimes bad happening,” Sharma joked.
