Team India kicked off their Asia Cup 2025 journey in stunning fashion with an overwhelming win over United Arab Emirates (UAE) at Dubai International Stadium on September 10 (Wednesday). The Men in Blue thoroughly dominated the match, skittling UAE for a mere 57 runs, the lowest ever T20I total against India. Indian bowlers were unstoppable, and the star performer was the ace spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who made his international return after the Champions Trophy 2025. He pulled off a record-breaking spell that put his name in Asia Cup history. Kuldeep Yadav's Record-Breaking Spell Kuldeep Yadav was unplayable, picking up Muhammad Waseem, Rahul Chopra, Harshit Kaushik, and Haider Ali. He completed the innings with phenomenal figures of 4/7 in just 2.1 overs. This spell is now the second-best bowling effort in the history of Asia Cup T20. More significantly, Kuldeep also became the quickest to claim 4 wickets in the history of the tournament, doing so in just 13 balls. The earlier record was in the name of Pakistan's spin bowling all-rounder Shadab Khan, who claimed 4 wickets in 17 balls against Hong Kong in 2022. Kuldeep's return has now created a new benchmark in Asia Cup T20.
