His message was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where he hailed the team’s success with characteristic enthusiasm.
Prime Minister’s Message

Tournament Highlights and Team Performance
The Indian cricket team secured their ninth Asia Cup title by defeating arch-rivals Pakistan by five wickets in the highly anticipated final held at Dubai International Stadium. Despite a challenging start, the team rallied impressively, with left-handed batter Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 69 guiding India across the finish line in the final moments.
The tournament was marked not just by on-field drama but also controversy, with India refusing to accept the winner’s trophy from ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who also serves as Pakistan’s Interior Minister. This highlighted ongoing tensions but did not overshadow India’s achievement, recognized nationwide as a testament to consistent excellence.
National and Global Reactions
The win was widely celebrated across India’s sporting fraternity and by fans globally. President Droupadi Murmu also extended her congratulations, wishing the team sustained success in future tournaments. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced prize money of ₹21 crore for the team and support staff in recognition of their achievement.
Conclusion: Asia Cup 2025
India’s triumphant Asia Cup 2025 campaign, capped by PM Modi’s congratulatory message, symbolizes the nation’s enduring dominance in Asian cricket and ignites enthusiasm for upcoming challenges.
