Mumbai: In a resounding display of dominance, Team India continued their unbeaten streak in the Asia Cup 2025, cruising to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in their second match. This one-sided affair has left cricket pundits buzzing, with former opener Virender Sehwag declaring that the Men in Blue are virtually unbeatable – unless they suffer a monumental collapse of their own making.
Speaking to Sony Sports after the game, Sehwag, renowned for his explosive batting and candid commentary, portrayed an indomitable Indian side. “The Indian team is exceptionally strong,” he remarked. “They will only lose if they perform very poorly.” The team is in superb form, with a solid lineup and top-notch bowlers and batsmen. They’ve got six-seven bowling options. The only way for opponents to defeat this team is for them to have a terrible day while they’re on their game. Beating this Indian outfit is quite a challenge.”
Sehwag’s comments underscore the sheer firepower in Surya Kumar Yadav’s squad, which has looked unassailable so far.
In their opening match, India easily defeated the UAE by nine wickets, and in their match against Pakistan, their bowlers controlled the opposition, allowing the batsmen to easily seal the chase. This has propelled India into the Super-4 stage, positioning them as overwhelming favourites to lift the trophy.
Echoing Sehwag’s sentiments, former captain Ajay Jadeja went a step further, hailing India as the world’s premier T20 unit. “This Indian team is outstanding,” Jadeja said. “Look beyond this match or tournament – over the last year and a half, they’ve won the previous World Cup and drawn Tests aside. In T20 cricket right now, no team can stand up to them.”
Experts agree that India’s balanced lineup, blending experience with youth, makes them a force to reckon with. From Jasprit Bumrah’s lethal pace to SKY’s masterclass batting, the side exudes confidence. As the tournament progresses, rivals like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will need more than just skill – perhaps a slice of luck – to derail this juggernaut.
India’s Asia Cup campaign is demonstrating remarkable consistency. Fans are already dreaming of silverware, but as Sehwag quipped, the only real threat might come from within. Will the Blues maintain their momentum, or will a ‘bad day’ prove prophetic? Cricket fans eagerly anticipate the outcome.
