India’s Predicted Squad for Asia Cup 2025

With the Asia Cup 2025 fast approaching, anticipation is building around who will don the Indian jersey in one of Asia’s most high-stakes cricket tournaments. The tournament, likely to be played in a 50-over format as a prelude to the 2025 Champions Trophy, will be critical for assessing form, fitness, and team balance. Here's a look at India’s predicted squad based on current performances and team dynamics.

Top Order

  1. Rohit Sharma (Captain) – Though questions linger about his ODI future, Rohit remains a dependable opener and leader in big tournaments.

  2. Shubman Gill – India’s most consistent opener in recent ODIs. His technique and temperament make him a must-pick.

  3. Virat Kohli – The legend continues to deliver. His experience and hunger for big-match performances will be key.

Middle Order

  1. Shreyas Iyer – Offers stability at No. 4 and is back in rhythm after injury setbacks.

  2. KL Rahul (WK) – A reliable middle-order batter and versatile wicketkeeper option.

  3. Sanju Samson – Provides flexibility and power-hitting, especially if India goes with two wicketkeepers.

All-Rounders

  1. Hardik Pandya (Vice-Captain) – India’s go-to all-rounder. His fitness will be closely monitored.

  2. Ravindra Jadeja – A proven match-winner with both bat and ball, and an elite fielder.

  3. Axar Patel – Offers similar utility to Jadeja and gives variety in left-arm spin.

Spinners

  1. Kuldeep Yadav – In top form recently, especially in middle overs where India often looks to control the game.

  2. Yuzvendra Chahal – Might edge into the squad as an experienced leg-spin option depending on pitch conditions.

Pacers

  1. Jasprit Bumrah – Fully fit and lethal with the new ball and at the death.

  2. Mohammed Siraj – Consistent with the new ball and has matured into a strong ODI asset.

  3. Arshdeep Singh – Left-arm angle and effective in death overs, giving India variety.

  4. Prasidh Krishna/Shardul Thakur – One of these utility pacers could round off the squad depending on the team’s need for depth in batting or pace.

Final Thoughts

The squad reflects a blend of experience and youth, with focus on versatility. With a few spots still open for debate, form and fitness will ultimately shape the final 15. But one thing’s clear: India will enter Asia Cup 2025 as one of the top contenders.
