India’s victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final wasn’t just about the cricket; it was about the aftermath. What followed the win turned into one of the most entertaining nights the fans have ever seen, with Indian players delivering a masterclass in roasting both on and off the field.
Bumrah’s “Plane Crash” Gesture
The highlight of the final may have been the cricket, but Jasprit Bumrah gave fans a moment to remember with his cheeky celebration. After dismissing Haris Rauf, Bumrah signaled a plane crashing, an obvious dig that immediately went viral. It was unexpected, hilarious, and quickly turned into meme gold. Arshdeep Singh had done something similar earlier in the tournament, though we can't really shed a lot of light on his version.
Fun and Games with Sanju Samson
If Bumrah’s jab was cheeky, Arshdeep, Jitesh Sharma, and Harshit Rana took the trolling to another level. They re-enacted how Abrar Ahmed celebrated Sanju Samson's wicket, performing it right in front of a sheepish Samson. The video spread like wildfire, perfectly capturing the playful mood in the Indian camp.
Abhishek Sharma’s Bold Statement
Post-match, Abhishek Sharma stole headlines with his no-nonsense remark. Having won the Player of the Tournament award, he declared that he doesn’t care if there's a premium fast bowler bowling at him; his job is to go after them from ball one. The grin on his face left little doubt about who he was referring to, and fans lapped it up.
The Trophy That Wasn’t There
Another viral moment came when the Indian squad staged mock celebrations with an “invisible trophy.” Later, Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep, and Harshit also posed as if they were holding the silverware, turning the absence of the actual cup into a hilarious photo-op. It showed just how relaxed the team was even after a high-pressure final.
Varun Chakravarthy’s Subtle Masterstroke
But perhaps the best roast came from Varun Chakravarthy. Remember Abrar Ahmed’s infamous “evening tea” post earlier this year? Chakaravarthy had, in response, posted a photo of the Champions Trophy with a teacup in his hand, which many believed was a dig at Abrar. And this time again, he posted a picture of himself in bed the morning after the win, with an empty teacup by his side, symbolizing how champions wake up the morning after with the cup next to them. It was subtle, sarcastic, and absolutely devastating for some Pakistani fans.
From Bumrah’s antics to Varun’s social media masterclass, the Asia Cup final wasn’t just a triumph on the scoreboard; it was also the Great Indian Roast of Pakistan.
