India's Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his heart out to forward his warm and joyous congratulations to the Men in Blue for clinching the Asia Cup 2025 title by defeating arch-rivals Pakistan in the final on Sunday, September 28 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The tournament had been under limelight for India vs Pakistan amidst tense atmosphere between the nations.

Modi metaphorized the win as India's way of executing the Operation Sindoor on the cricketing field. He also shared that whether the nations fight on the border, or on the field, the result always goes in favour of the Indian outfit.
