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.

The 2025 Asia Cup is to be played in T20 format. The ACC i.e. the Asian Cricket Council has announced the schedule and venue of this tournament. This time the Asia Cup is to be played in UAE. The tournament will start from 9 September, while its finals will be played from 28 September. Right now BCCI has not announced Team India for this tournament. However, selection of the team is not going to be easy for the board. Know here who can open for India in the 2025 Asia Cup.

Please tell that there are five contenders for opening in the Asia Cup. In such a situation, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar will have to do a lot of beauty in choosing a 15 -member team and choosing the opening pair.

1- KL Rahul

In IPL 2025 for Delhi Capitals, KL Rahul batted at many positions, but the best performance was opening KL Rahul. He can perform strongly on UAE pitches. Recently, KL Rahul scored more than 500 runs in the Test series against England. After this, there is talk of his return to the T20 team.

2- Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal may play long innings for India in Tests, but he is a special T20 batsman. In IPL 2025 too, Jaiswal also proved this by scoring a fast run. There are also reports of Jaiswal getting a chance in the Asia Cup.

3- Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson has been starting the innings for Team India in T20 for a long time. During this time, three centuries have also come from his bat. Samson is absolutely batting in the style of Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, the decision to exclude them may be overshadowed by the team.

4- Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma is the world’s number-1 batsman at T20 International. He is known for scoring runs at a stormy speed. Abhishek of this format is King. Abhishek has scored two centuries in T20 International for India.
