Indian fans perform aarti in Varanasi and Prayagraj ahead of India-Pakistan Super 4 clash

New Delhi: India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan for the second time in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, September 21. Ahead of the high-octane clash, Indian fans performed aarti at the Ganga Ghat in Varanasi to support their team in the Super 4 clash.

Fans were seen with posters of Indian players and waving the Indian flag. Indian supporters also chanted slogans like "Jeetega bhai jeetega India jeetega", "Bharat Mata ki Jai", and "Om Namah Parvati Pataye Har Har Mahadev" at the Ganga Ghat.

Meanwhile, some fans also offered prayers for the Men in Blue's win over Pakistan in Prayagraj before the Super 4 clash. A fan told ANI that aarti was performed at Dashashwamedh Ghat, and they also offered hawan to support India and defeat Pakistan by a huge margin.

In the previous battle, India comfortably defeated Pakistan in the group stage. Men in Blue skipper Suryakumar Yadav is quite confident as he urged his side to take each game one at a time and not to rely on past success.

India are the only unbeaten side in the ongoing Asia Cup, whereas Pakistan are not in good shape, as their bowling and batting lineup have not clicked together yet.

Before the first clash, fans were urging a boycott of the match against Pakistan, but in the first match, the Indian team humbled the Men in Green, and now fans are demanding to hand another humiliating defeat to Pakistan.

India have a well-settled side, and every player knows his role and value in the team. Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy will make their return to the playing XI after resting in the previous game against Oman.

On the other hand, Pakistan will be eager to avenge the loss in the group stage. Men in Green's batting order will be pivotal as they want to pressurise India's bowling unit in the game.
