India cruised to an easy victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup, prompting star player Surya to remark that the historic rivalry between the two cricketing giants is “not what it used to be.”
The match saw India dominate with both bat and ball, leaving Pakistan struggling to keep up. Surya, who played a pivotal role in the win, praised his teammates’ performance and emphasized the importance of consistent preparation and teamwork.
Speaking after the match, Surya said, “Matches against Pakistan used to carry an unmatched intensity, but the game has evolved. Today, it’s about skill, focus, and strategy rather than old rivalries.”
Cricket analysts suggest that while the historical rivalry still garners global attention, the gap in preparation, performance, and mental approach has shifted the dynamics between the two teams. The win boosts India’s standing in the Asia Cup, setting the stage for the upcoming high-pressure matches.
