India hit an all-time low despite beating Bangladesh by a comfortable margin of 41 runs in the 2025 Asia Cup on Wednesday (September 25) to reach the final of the event, but the Men in Blue hit an all-time low in a performance that saw the team far away from their best.

After the batters stumbled and put up just 168 on the board despite a quick-fire knock of 75 in 37 balls by Abhishek Sharma, the fielders had a nightmare outing. After the Men in Blue put down four catches against Pakistan on Sunday (September 21), they dropped five catches.

Saif Hassan's Unprecedented Feat As India Hit Record Low
Hassan, who kept Bangladesh's hopes alive single-handedly by scoring a 51-ball 69 with three boundaries and five maximums, was dropped on four occasions. He was dropped at scores of 40, 65, 66, 67 by Axar Patel, Shivam Dube (twice), and Sanju Samson. Later, Nassum Ahmed was dropped by Kuldeep Yadav in the 20th over.

This marked the first instance in history of India dropping four catches of a single batter in a T20 inning as Hassan entered a rare list. Only four batters have been dropped four times in a T20I innings, with Hassan being the first to do so against India. Interestingly, Pathun Nissanka was also dropped four times by Hong Kong earlier in the tournament against Hong Kong, China.

Meanwhile, India has dropped 12 catches in the 2025 Asia Cup, the most by any team in the ongoing tournament, going past Hong Kong China, which dropped 11 catches in just three games. India's catching efficiency of 67.5% is the second-worst and the lowest by a team that qualified for the Super 4.Interestingly, Pathun Nissanka was also dropped four times by Hong Kong earlier in the tournament against Hong Kong, China.
