The franchise's attempt to mock the Indian team following Pakistan's strong performance with the ball backfired spectacularly after India's youngsters pulled off a remarkable chase to lift the trophy.Karachi Kings shared a post on their social media account featuring a mock chat conversation, with the caption, "This chat has been restricted by Rizwanullah". The screenshot showed messages suggesting that Vineeth VK and Arjun Rajput had left the chat, seemingly referring to Pakistan pacer Rizwanullah's impressive performance in the final.Rizwanullah had indeed made an impact with the ball.

He picked up three wickets, dismissing Vineeth for 24 and Rajput for 16 when India were 172 for three in 31 overs during their chase of 338. He also removed Aryan Savsani to finish with figures of 3/53 in his 10 overs.However, Karachi Kings' celebration proved premature.

India recovered from a difficult position to chase down the target, finishing at 339 for nine in 50 overs. The franchise's attempt to take a dig at the Indian youngsters quickly backfired, with Indian cricket fans flooding social media with reactions and trolling the PSL side for celebrating before the match was over.

Rizwanullah, who represents Karachi Kings in the PSL, made his tournament debut last season. He featured in two matches and picked up three wickets.

The young pacer, however, enjoyed a much more productive campaign in the U19 Asia Cup 2026, finishing as the joint-highest wicket-taker with 14 wickets.MANAL, MOHIT TURN THE GAME AROUNDIndia's chase had received a solid foundation from openers Aaryavir Sehwag and captain Lakshya Raichandani. Sehwag scored 58 off 61 balls, while Raichandani anchored the innings with 80 off 101 deliveries.

However, Pakistan fought back with regular wickets, leaving India struggling at 252 for eight. Just when Pakistan appeared to have the match under control, Manal Chauhan and Mohit Ulva produced a stunning counterattack.

The duo added 57 runs for the ninth wicket in just 5.5 overs, bringing India back into the contest. Manal smashed 47 off 32 balls, while Mohit remained unbeaten on 49 off just 26 deliveries, hitting three sixes and five fours.Manal eventually departed, but Mohit continued to keep India's hopes alive alongside Chigurupati Venkata.

With eight runs needed in the final over and three required off the last ball, Mohit smashed a boundary off Ahmed Hussain to seal a sensational one-wicket victory.The triumph was India's ninth U19 Asia Cup title. They reclaimed the crown after missing out on the trophy in the previous three editions, with Bangladesh winning in 2023 and 2024 before Pakistan lifted the title in 2025.- Ends
