Asia Cup 2025: The thrilling game between India-Sri Lanka got hilarious on Friday for the commentators over a particular incident. The incident took place when India were ready to go out there to bat.
While everyone believed that it will be the regular pairing of Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill that will stride out, the cameraman started playing tricks by focussing on Tilak Varma, who also had his pad on, standing next to Gill.
Finally, when it was time for the openers to make their way out to the centre, it was Abhishek and Gill. Here is the clip where the commentators are baffled while it unfolds. ‘Dhund Rahe Sharma Ji… Dikha Rahe Varma Ji,’ said one of the commentators.

Meanwhile, the game went right down to the wire as a Super Over was needed to separate the two sides. India captain Suryakumar Yadav rightly put it in the post-match presentation that it ‘felt like a final’.
“It felt like a final, boys showed a lot of character after the first half in the second innings, I told the boys to have good energy and let’s see where we are at the end,” SKY said.
Do Bhai-Dono Tabahi
Gill and Abhishek seem to be a match made in heaven.
On most occasions in the Asia Cup, they have got India off to flyers and fans would be hoping they can repeat the same in the all-important final on Sunday when the Men in Blue take on arch-rivals Pakistan. For the unversed, India has already beaten Pakistan twice and the final would be the third meeting between the two Asian cricketing giants. India would start favourites.
