India's Rise, Pakistan's Struggles: NDTV Panel on Asia Cup Final Showdown

In a prelude to the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup Final, NDTV hosted a panel discussion highlighting the contrasting trajectories of the two cricketing nations. The conversation questioned whether Pakistan cricket is in decline, with visible signs of desperation on the field as they try to prove their relevance.

Former cricketer Nikhil Chopra emphasized that players not only represent their teams but also reflect the strength of their cricket boards. He pointed out that India's cricketing ecosystem, driven by the BCCI's investment, the IPL, and grassroots development, has produced consistent match-winners across generations - from Sunil Gavaskar to Rohit Sharma.
