However, a fearless young Sri Lankan team proved the stats wrong by successfully defending their total of 170 to win their sixth Asia Cup title.

    Following the victory, Gambhir, who was part of the Asia Cup 2022 official broadcast team, interacted with Sri Lankan fans and was even seen holding the country’s flag.
    While Indian fans and cricket fans in general lauded Gambhir’s gesture, Pakistan fans objected to the former cricketer celebrating their team’s loss and applauding their opponent.
    As Gambhir received praise from Indian fans on social media for his gesture, Pakistani fans questioned whether he would have dared to wave the Pakistani flag if Pakistan had won.
    With India out of the final, we knew who Gambhir would support in the summit clash, and it would not be unfair to say that the Sri Lankan team managed to punch above their weight, especially given their squad’s lack of experience in comparison to Pakistan.
