Asia Cup Match Prediction 2025. The Asia Cup will be held from 9 to 28 September 2025 in Abu Dhabi and Dubai of UAE. The BCCI has announced a 15 -member Indian team for the tournament. In this team, Shubman Gill has returned to the T20 team, he has been made vice -captain, while Suryakumar Yadav will captain the team.

Difficulty in Sanju Samson’s team

Sanju Samson played several important innings for India in T20 in the last one year and also scored three centuries, but after Shubman Gill’s return, he seems difficult to have a difficulty in his playing XI. Former Indian off -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin also admitted that it would be challenging for Samson to make it to the last eleven.

Opening pair: Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma

Due to being the vice -captain, Shubman Gill is almost certain to play in the playing XI. T20 number-1 batsman Abhishek Sharma can start the innings with him. Tilak Verma may have a role at number three, who scored two centuries last year and is second in the T20 International rankings.

Middle order possibilities

Captain Suryakumar Yadav can handle the innings at number four. Wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma is likely to play at number five, Hardik Pandya at number six and Akshar Patel at number seven.

Bowling attack

In bowling, India will land with two main spinners and two fast bowlers. This may include Varun Chakraborty, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Jaspreet Bumrah.
