BCCI on Tuesday announced India’s 15 -member team for the 2025 Asia Cup. Shubman Gill has been made vice -captain. The team also stars Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Verma. As soon as the team was announced, a big question has arisen in front of captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir, which will not be less than a challenge for both.

Now you must be wondering which such question has arisen, then let me tell you that the question is, who will open for India in the Asia Cup now? Shubman Gill starts the innings in T20 cricket. At the same time, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have been starting the innings in T20 cricket for India for the last one year. Apart from this, Tilak Verma plays at number three. In such a situation, Gill is now vice -captain and will be part of the playing XI. Now whom should the opening be done, this question is definitely serious and troubled by Surya.

Captain Suryakumar Yadav’s first big tournament

Let us know that the 2025 Asia Cup is the first big tournament of Suryakumar Yadav as captain. In such a situation, he would like to win this tournament. But it would not be wrong to say that the selection of playing XI will become a headache for captain Surya and coach Gambhir. Whom should be opened? Who should be fed to number three? These are two such questions, which are going to produce tension. If Tilak is fed below or kept out of the last eleven, then Gill can play at number three, but will Gill be effective at number three. This question is also disturbing.

Indian team for 2025 Asia Cup- Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shubman Gill (Vice -captain), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Jaspreet Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Harshit Rana and Rinku Singh.

BCCI has announced India’s 15 -member team for the 2025 Asia Cup to be played from 9 September. Many players have returned to the team and some have suffered a big shock. Shubman Gill has returned to the Vice Captain T20 team as Vice. Jitesh Sharma has also made a comeback. At the same time, star players like Shreyas Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammad Siraj, Mohammed Shami and KL Rahul have not found a place in this team.

KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer performed brilliantly in IPL 2025. Iyer scored more than 600 runs. Rahul’s bat also scored a lot of runs. He also scored a century. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored fast as expected. The three were entitled to get a place in the team, but everyone has suffered a setback. At the same time, Mohammad Siraj, who took wickets in the England Test series, has also not been included in the T20 team.

Shubman Gill and Jitesh Sharma’s comeback

India’s Test captain Shubman Gill, who scored 650 runs in IPL 2025, has been made Vice Captain. This means that his place in the playing XI is confirmed. Apart from this, wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma, who emerged as a finisher in IPL 2025, has also got a place in the 15 -member team of Asia Cup.
