Broadcasters' delight - Aakash Chopra on India vs Pakistan final in Asia Cup

Speaking on ESPNCricinfo ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 final, Aakash Chopra said that the two arch-rivals - India and Pakistan - clashing in the summit clash is a delight for broadcasters. He elaborated:

First, to begin with, I think broadcasters' delight 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 always was the case that they were like one shot of that because either India or Pakistan would crash out in the league stage and they will never reach the finals.

"But 2025 seems to be the year of firsts. A lot of new things have happened. Therefore, this final also. But see, there has been a lot of surround sound. There is no doubt. But I would say temperature has come down a little from the first game from an Indian standpoint.

"I think the first game for India was a big one because it was at the highest, that surround sound that you're talking about. It had peaked already and post that there is some amount of because India won first time, India won the second time and suddenly there is a little more, I mean, I won't use the word that's coming to my mind, but people are now okay with India playing Pakistan because there was a time when India, people are not okay only. But now you're in the finals. Now the only thing will be and people will not be okay that you have won two and you lose one."
