Broadcasters Delight – Akash Chopra on India vs Pakistan Final Asia Cup
Speaking on the Espncricinfo before the Asia Cup 2025 finals, Akash Chopra said that two staunch rivals – India and Pakistan – Summit at the summit is a pleasure for the broadcasters. He explained in detail:
First, to start, I think the broadcasters are happy because the Asia Cup was always designed in a fashion that Pakistan and India could play each other as many times as possible. But it was always the case that they were like a shot of it because either India or Pakistan would crash in league stage and they would never reach the finals.
“But 2025 seems to be the first year. A lot of new things have happened. Therefore, it is also a final.
“I think the first game was one big for India, because it was the most, the sound around you is talking about you. It was already at the peak and was posted that there is some amount because India won for the first time, India won the second time and suddenly there is a little more, I will not use the word that is coming in my mind, but now people are not a lover. ,
