Asia cup 2025: The Asia Cup 2025 team is yet to be announced, but before that former Indian spinner and World Cup champion Harbhajan Singh has chosen his favorite Indian team. Some shocking decisions have been seen in this team. Bhajji has kept players like Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh and Tilak Verma out to play from the Asia Cup, while Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer have been placed in the team.
These legendary players were out
The biggest surprise of Harbhajan Singh’s team is the wicketkeeping option. He has spoken of choosing one of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul in the team. For this, he has excluded the ongoing Sanju Samson in the top form, which has intensified the discussion. According to Bhajji, “KL Rahul can be a very good option. One of Pant or Rahul should be in the team.”
Big changes in bowling also
Bhajji has elected three fast bowlers in his team. These include Jaspreet Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj. The special thing is that he has put Siraj ahead of Mohammed Shami and Harshit Rana.
In the spin department, he has given a chance to Kuldeep Yadav, Akshar Patel and Ryan Parag. Giving Ryan Parag a place in the team for a big tournament like Asia Cup can be a shocking step for many cricket fans.
Harbhajan expressed confidence in Gill
Bhajji, the new Test captain of Team India and the second highest run -scorer of IPL 2025, has also been included in the Asia Cup team by Bhajji. He says, “Gill knows how to play this format well and is a long innings player. You can not only play fours and sixes in 20 overs, but it is also important to stability.”
