As the tension builds up for the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 final, former Indian cricket great Sunil Gavaskar has stepped in with a prediction that sounds more like astrology than cricket analysis and fans are loving it!
The former India legend Sunil Gavaskar, known for his sharp cricketing mind, has backed young Punjab sensation Abhishek Sharma to not just shine but to score a century in the final showdown against Pakistan. Sharma, the tournament’s highest run-getter so far, has been unstoppable, amassing 309 runs in six matches at an impressive average of 51.50.

Speaking to India Today, Gavaskar said,
“Abhishek Sharma is in red-hot form and won’t let opportunities slip. Despite a heartbreakingly close miss earlier due to a run-out, he’s primed for another big innings – maybe even his first Asia Cup hundred.”
This prediction comes despite Pakistan legend Shoaib Akhtar suggesting that India’s success hinges on dismissing Sharma early, ideally within the first two overs. Akhtar urged Pakistani bowlers to shatter India’s “aura” by targeting the young star right from the start. But Gavaskar seems confident Sharma’s star will only shine brighter under pressure.
Fans will be eager to see if Gavaskar’s “astrological” insight holds true as the cricketing world watches two fierce rivals battle it out. One thing’s for sure – Abhishek Sharma is ready to make history, and the final might just be his stage to do so.
