The second match of the 17th edition of the Cricket Asia Cup (Asia Cup 2025) will be played between India and the UAE today. The match will start at 8 pm (Indian time) at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This match is easy for Suryakumar Yadav & Team and if UAE is able to compete with India, then it will be their victory in a way. Today there are 3 players of India who can destroy the UAE team, what are those players and how India will have to be careful with the UAE.

1. Abhishek Sharma

Whether it is IPL or International Cricket, Abhishek Sharma starts showering on the bowlers on the first ball. Left-arm batsman Abhishek made his T20 debut last year and within a year he became the world’s number-1 T20 batsman. Although Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson are also a deadly batsman, but there is every possibility that the top order batsmen played the entire innings.

Talking about Abhishek Sharma’s T20 International career, he has scored 535 runs in 16 innings of 17 matches, including 2 centuries. His strike rate is around 200 (193.84). In this format, he has hit 61 sixes. If he also plays even the powerplay, he will fierce the UAE bowlers.

2. Shubman Gill

If India has to bat first today, then a score of 220-250 can be made. Shubman Gill can start the innings with Abhishek Sharma, he was in great form on England tour. He was finding it difficult to dismiss, everyone was praising his footwork. Gill is currently the number-1 batsman in the ODI ICC rankings. He has scored 578 runs in 21 T20 matches for India, his strike rate is 139.27. He has scored 1 century and 3 half -centuries in this format.

3. Jaspreet Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has not played T20 International since winning the T20 World Cup last year. He is the main fast bowler in India in the Asia Cup. In front of them, big batsmen of the world are upset, in such a situation, UAE batsmen will feel mental pressure while playing in front of them. Bumrah has taken 89 wickets in 70 T20 matches for India, although he has never been able to take 4 wickets in an innings of this format.

India needs to be careful

UAE has won 3 matches at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, winning one of them against New Zealand. New Zealand is a big team and UAE reversed on August 19, 2023, when the UAE defeated Kiwi team by 7 wickets. In that match, UAE captain Muhammad Wasim scored a rapid innings of 55 runs in 29 balls, Asif Khan scored an unbeaten 48 in 29 balls. Wasim will still captain and Asif is part of the team. India cannot take both these batsmen lightly. UAE bowler Muhammad Javad Ullah will also have to play carefully in the beginning.
