India triumphed in the Asia Cup 2025, defeating Pakistan by five wickets on September 28, marking their ninth title win. Abhishek Sharma, with a remarkable 314 runs in seven innings, was crowned Player of the Tournament. Key contributions included Tilak Varma’s 69 runs and Rinku Singh’s decisive final-over boundary, solidifying India’s undefeated streak throughout the tournament. Sharma was awarded a Haval H9 SUV for his outstanding performance.
The Haval H9 is manufactured by Haval, a subsidiary of Great Wall Motors (GWM). The SUV is powered by a 2.0L turbo petrol engine producing approximately 214 hp and 380 Nm of peak torque. The car has an 8-speed automatic transmission and a top speed around 200 km/h, with fuel efficiency estimated at 9–12 km/l. Safety features include Level 2 ADAS systems such as Traffic Sign Recognition, Rear Collision Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking. The interior features a seven-seater cabin with a 14.6-inch touchscreen, a 10-speaker audio system, a panoramic sunroof, and wireless charging. Haval plans to introduce the H9 in India, anticipating a price of around Rs 40 lakh. However, the vehicle is not currently available for purchase in India.
