India’s young batting sensation Tilak Varma has once again grabbed the headlines after playing a match-winning knock in the Asia Cup 2025 Final against Pakistan. The left-hander scored a sensational 69 off 53 balls*, anchoring India’s chase of 147 runs in a nail-biting last-over thriller at Dubai International Stadium.
Hyderabad Welcomes Its Star
Tilak returned to his hometown Hyderabad on Monday (September 29) to a grand welcome by fans. Speaking at a press conference, the 22-year-old cricketer echoed the bold statement made by India captain Suryakumar Yadav, asserting that “Pakistan is no match for us.”
Tilak Varma’s Statement on Pakistan: “No Rivalry Anymore”
Tilak supported his captain’s controversial remark where Surya had earlier stated that the India vs Pakistan rivalry is no longer relevant, especially after India’s dominant performances in recent encounters. “I agree with captain Suryakumar Yadav. There is no rivalry. Pakistan is no match for us. But every team tries different tactics, and Pakistan did the same. There was pressure when I walked in to bat, but my only focus was to win the match for the 140 crore Indians,” said Tilak.

Tilak entered the field when India was struggling at 10/2, and the pressure intensified as the score became 20/3. Despite the situation, the youngster displayed remarkable composure and maturity beyond his years.
Pakistan Players Tried to Sledge Tilak During the Final
In a major revelation, Tilak Varma disclosed that Pakistan players attempted to sledge and distract him during the high-stakes final. The psychological tactics were aimed at rattling the Indian batters early. “They tried to sledge me when we lost quick wickets. But I remained calm and didn’t react. I focused on playing proper cricket and responded only after winning the match. In such pressure games, these things happen, but I didn’t let it affect me,” Tilak added.
He mentioned that while he couldn’t reveal the exact words used by Pakistani players, it was clear they were trying to unnerve him. Tilak’s decision to stay silent and let the bat do the talking turned out to be the perfect response.
India Clinch Record 9th Asia Cup Title
With Tilak Varma’s heroic innings, Team India lifted their record-extending 9th Asia Cup title, further establishing their dominance in Asian cricket. The Indian squad, led by Suryakumar Yadav, outplayed Pakistan in both the Super Four stage and the final, underlining their superiority in pressure games.
