Clairvoyants Tilak and Rinku willed on Sept 6 exactly what they would do in final

 Tilak Varma played the innings of his life, guiding India to Asia Cup glory with a five-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan in the final. The young southpaw delivered a brilliant unbeaten 69* off 53 balls, steering India past a challenging target of 147 after the team had slumped to 20/3 within the first four overs.

Varma displayed immense composure under pressure, rotating the strike with maturity and forging crucial partnerships with Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube, scripting a memorable victory for India. From the very first delivery, his calm demeanor showed he was ready to shoulder the responsibility.

It wasn't just Tilak who saw his wish come true. Rinku Singh, who had missed India's first six matches in the Asia Cup, due to team combination constraints, got his chance in the final after Hardik Pandya was ruled out with an injury he picked up on Friday against Sri Lanka.

Determined to make the most of the opportunity, Rinku was electric in the field, diving, chasing, and taking sharp catches.
