Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has opined that the Indian spinners are superior to Pakistan heading into the Asia Cup 2025 final as well. He added that the Indian spinners will find a way to bounce back even if they are attacked at the start of their spells as well. India will take on Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final in Dubai on Sunday, September 28 as well.

Previewing the Asia Cup 2025 final in a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “If we do man-to-man marking, Indian spin has much more skill, whether you see Varun Chakaravarthy’s mystery, Kuldeep Yadav’s left-arm leg-spin and googly, and even Axar Patel. The Indian spin bowling has a lot of might, and you have found many examples of that in this Asia Cup already. In the first game against Pakistan, the Pakistan batters’ situation was like a cobra had strangulated them when the spinners attacked them from both ends. They had no idea. They have the quality that even if you attack them once, they will find a way to come back and stay relevant.”

“Varun Chakaravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav are extremely attacking. You can’t hit them out of the attack. It’s not possible to hit them repeatedly. Axar is a very smart operator and I still remember the over he bowled against Imad Wasim in the 2024 T20 World match. So Axar Patel holds a very important role,” he added.

However, Aakash Chopra also shared that Abrar Ahmed lost his line and length when Abhishek Sharma attacked him in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours as well.

“In the opposing team’s spin, Abrar Ahmed bowled very well against Sri Lanka, but we saw what happened when we attacked him. Abhishek Sharma is a very important cog in that. When Abhishek Sharma attacked him, we saw him having no idea. Abrar Ahmed was pitching balls at his own feet or bowling wides. Mohammad Nawaz wasn’t bowled at all. To neutralize their spin, somebody like Abhishek Sharma, Shivam Dube later, and maybe in between somehow Hardik Pandya because he is a clutch player vs Pakistan. They will have to negate them and the Indian spinners will have to tighten their grip,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
