With India sent in to bat on a difficult surface in the Asian Games semifinal, most expected a struggle. But Kishan, backed by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s explosive 38, turned the game around and set up a massive 124-run win over Sri Lanka. What followed was even more brutal; Sri Lanka crumbled to 45 all out in under 10 overs, with Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel dismantling their top order. Now, India faces Pakistan in the final; a match loaded with more than just cricket. Will there be handshakes? The team has stayed firm since Operation Sindoor, but podium protocols mean they’ll stand side by side regardless. One thing’s certain: this final won’t just be played on the field.
