In the first match of Asia Cup 2025, there were many big surprises in Team India’s playing XI. Sanju Samson had a question mark on the place in the playing XI, but he got a chance in the middle order instead of opening. Meanwhile, the team management has not given the opportunity to Arshdeep Singh, who took the most wickets for India in T20 cricket. Former India cricketers have erupted on this.
Speaking to ESPN Cricinfo, Akash Chopra said that the Champions Trophy is smelling in the playing XI of the match against UAE. He said, “I think there is a glimpse of the Champions Trophy on this playing XI. It was March when there was dryness in the pitches of Dubai. Now September has come, yet going with the same playing XI, that too in a separate format. Is Team India going to plan a similar plan?”

Akash Chopra, in support of Arshdeep Singh, said, “Arshdeep Singh has taken 99 wickets. Arshdeep’s wickets and figures are better than Jaspreet Bumrah in T20.”
