Following India’s electrifying Asia Cup victory, star batters Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma offered fans a delightful glimpse into their post-match celebrations. A video, quickly making rounds on social media, captures the two young talents enjoying a joyous ride in Abhishek’s brand-new luxury car, valued at approximately Rs 37 lakh.
The southpaw, Abhishek Sharma, received this impressive vehicle as his Player of the Tournament award. He wasted no time taking his teammate and close friend, Shubman Gill, for a celebratory spin. The viral clip shows both cricketers beaming with pride, taking selfies inside the gleaming new car.
Their heartwarming camaraderie, a bond forged from their early days playing cricket together, added an extra special touch to India’s historic evening. This celebratory drive came after India secured a memorable win against arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup final held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
India successfully chased down 147 runs, overcoming initial setbacks at 20-3, thanks to Tilak Varma’s outstanding match-winning knock of 69 runs off just 53 balls. With crucial support from Shivam Dube, who scored a quick 33, and Sanju Samson’s steady 24, Varma expertly guided India towards victory. Rinku Singh ultimately sealed the title with a boundary, igniting jubilant celebrations across the team.
Earlier in the match, Pakistan had seemed to be in a strong position at 113-1, but experienced a dramatic collapse, ultimately being bowled out for just 146 runs in 19.1 overs. The formidable Indian bowlers delivered a brilliant performance, tightening their grip on the game and setting the stage for what would become a thrilling and ultimately triumphant chase.
This victory secured India’s ninth Asia Cup title, and remarkably, only their second in the T20 format since 2016. Adding to the historical significance, this was also the very first India-Pakistan final in the history of the Asia Cup, making the win all the more special and memorable.
