Gautam Gambhir had expressed his wish this year that he wants only one captain in all three formats. Now the situation is such that Team India has 3 different captains in all three formats. Being three different captains can reduce the workload, but due to this it is difficult for the selectors to take a final decision on the Asia Cup squad. Test captain Shubman Gill is finding it difficult to give a place in the T20 team, what will the selection committee decide on it? Very soon in Mumbai, Ajit Agarkar, Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav can meet. There will be 10 questions in this meeting, which have increased the tension of selectors and team management before the Asia Cup squad announcement.
1. Chance to Shreyas Iyer?
Shreyas Iyer is scoring 604 runs for India’s top scorer (243 runs) and IPL 2025 in the Champions Trophy. Despite this magnificent form, not getting a place will be unfair to Iyer, but how will he be able to fit in the middle order? Tilak Verma on number-3, Suryakumar Yadav on four and Hardik Pandya on number-5 can come. At the same time, how will Iyer be able to fit in the middle order while Akshar Patel, this is a big question.
2. Who will be the vice -captain?
In January this year, Akshar Patel was appointed as the vice -captain of the T20 team. Recently, the news of Shubman Gill being made Vice-Captain in the Asia Cup has gained momentum. If Gill is made vice -captain, then this accountability will also be of the selection committee as to what Akshar Patel did so wrong, which was removed from the post of vice -captain.
3. or not Jaspreet Bumrah?
After the Asia Cup, the month of October will be very busy for Team India. He has to play 2 Tests against West Indies and 3 ODI matches against Australia. In such a situation, will it be right to give rest to Bumrah from the Asia Cup. Anyway, Bumrah has not played T20 cricket for the last one year.
4. Lower Middle Order, Rinku Singh or Shivam Dubey?
The lower-middle order is also stuck on the order batting, where Rinku Singh is clouded in place of crisis. Shivam Dubey and Washington Sundar are also in the race for numbers 6 and 7, who can contribute with storm batting as well as balls.
5. How many spinners to feed?
India will have the option of Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar and Varun Chakraborty for the Asia Cup. The question in front of the selectors will be that how many spinners should be fed in the team. Kuldeep and Varun have been constantly effective in T20 formats, in such a situation, all -rounder Washington Sundar will have to wash away the playing XI.
6. Whom should the opening be done?
After becoming a head coach, Gautam Gambhir has given Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson opportunities in the opening, both have shown amazing performance. Due to lack of space in the opening, the selection of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal is under question. Will the selectors, Abhishek and Samson cut the leaf of one of the Gill or Jaiswal?
7. Who in the pace attack?
Arshdeep Singh has been the main bowler of Team India in T20. If Jasprit Bumrah is selected, then who will be the third pace, because according to reports Mohammad Siraj can be kept out of the Asia Cup squad. At the same time, Bumrah is given a rest, then India will have less experienced options like famous Krishna, Harshit Rana.
8. Is 2 wicketkeepers in playing XI?
Sanju Samson has been the first choice of wicketkeeper, scoring three centuries in the last 10 T20 innings. It is also a big question whether the second wicketkeeper will be fed as Jitesh Sharma in the middle order, who caught everyone’s attention in IPL 2025 with his 176 stormy strike rate. They can also play the role of finisher.
9. Shubman Gill will come in whose place?
Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma have done well as openers. On the third order, Tilak Verma has an average of 55, so there is no place for Gill in the top order. The question will be that if Gill is fitted in the middle order, then who will be excluded?
10. Will a lot of changes be correct for the Asia Cup?
Gautam Gambhir started preparing a young team as soon as he became a head coach. Other youths including Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma and Arshdeep Singh were given the weight of the team. This team has not lost any T20 series in the last one year. Will the selectors make a lot of changes in this team?
