One of the major talking points from India’s victory is the lapses in fielding as the Men in Blue dropped multiple catches that would have cost a win for the defending champions. A total of four catches were dropped, all of which were by Saif Hassan. Hassan received four lifelines while batting on 40, 65, 66, and 67. Axar Patel, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, and Abhishek Sharma dropped a catch each.
In the Super 4 clash against Pakistan, India dropped the same number of catches. In the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 so far, the Men in Blue have dropped a total of 12 catches, raising concerns over their fielding standards and putting additional pressure on the bowlers to defend totals
