These players will take charge in the top order

Shubman Gill can lead Team India in the Asia Cup 2025 in the top order. He is looking in great form. He batted brilliantly in the Test series in England. At the same time, he scored 650 runs for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 and is set to return to the T20I team after more than a year.

There are chances that Gill can open the innings with his friend Abhishek Sharma. While wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson can be fielded at number-3. While captain Suryakumar will be at number 4. Apart from these, there can be a tough competition between Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Verma for number-5. At the same time, Hardik Pandya and Akshar Patel can play the role of all-rounder.

Jasprit Bumrah will lead the fast bowling

After the Indian batting, if we talk about the bowling unit in Asia Cup 2025, then Jasprit Bumrah will be seen leading the fast bowling team. While Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana can support him from the other end. While Pandya can join the team as the fourth fast bowler.

Varun Chakraborty may be the only specialist spinner in the team. However, it remains to be seen whether Kuldeep Yadav or Ravi Bishnoi will be able to make it to the team as the second specialist spinner or not, because Varun Chakraborty has impressed a lot after returning to Team India.
