India’s Asia Cup 2025 Champions Return to Grand Welcome
The victorious India cricket team, fresh from their Asia Cup 2025 triumph, received a spectacular welcome in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Head coach Gautam Gambhir and star spinner Kuldeep Yadav landed from Dubai to cheering crowds, just a day after India beat arch-rivals Pakistan by five wickets in the dramatic final at the Dubai International Stadium.
The city was alive with celebrations as fans poured into the streets to greet their heroes, waving flags and chanting slogans. Social media was flooded with pictures and videos capturing the electric atmosphere, as supporters expressed their pride in a flawless campaign where India won all seven matches to lift the trophy.
Eyes Set on the West Indies Test Challenge
Even amid the celebrations, the team’s attention has already turned to their next task — a two-match Test series against the West Indies, part of the ongoing 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. The opening Test will begin at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 2, followed by the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on October 10.
The T20 glory has given the squad tremendous confidence, but the coaching staff is focused on adapting to the red-ball format and extending their winning momentum into the longer version of the game.
West Indies Ready for WTC Battle
The West Indies team has already reached Ahmedabad and is preparing for the high-stakes series. With valuable WTC points on offer, both sides will aim to start strongly. For India, maintaining their dominance and building on their recent success will be the top priority.
