Former India player turned veteran commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu applauded Kuldeep Yadav for his stunning spell against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 match in Dubai. However, India beat Pakistan by 7 wickets in a one-sided game as well. Batting first, Pakistan could only score 127/9 from their 20 overs as Kuldeep Yadav returned figures of
3/18 from his four overs as well.

“Kuldeep Yadav, my favourite spinner. He is a wicket-taking bowler. He was like a Da Vinci code that Pakistan could not understand at all. They could not see the wrist and could not figure out anything. Along with that, the pressure that Axar created, he also bowled well and adapted himself according to the situation,” Sidhu said on his YouTube channel.

“He is a sun of the new generation. Look at him carefully. He brings a new style of play. He has won 20 out of 24 matches. I thought that win record of Rohit Sharma, no one can break it. But being even better than that, look at the DNA of this new generation,” he further added.

Following India’s convincing win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, Navjot Singh Sidhu declared India the best team in the world as well.

“It felt like Abhishek put the game in India’s pocket in the first five overs itself. The way this team is playing T20, it is the number one team. Leave the Asia Cup, it is number one in the world. This team went to Sri Lanka and won, defeated South Africa in South Africa. There is a problem of plenty in this team. Best openers in world cricket, now there is even Shubman Gill. Shreyas is not in this team. Look at the talent. You will not miss anyone. It has taken the level of the game to new heights,” Navjot Singh Sidhu concluded.
