Akshay Thakur - Thursday, Aug 14, 2025India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav is not fully fit yet. So it is not clear who will captain Team India in the Asia Cup. But now an update has come as to who will be the captain.
Less than a month is left for the 2025 Asia Cup to begin. This most prestigious tournament of Asian cricket will be played in the UAE from September 9 to September 28. The BCCI has not yet announced Team India for this tournament. The reason for this is Suryakumar Yadav not being fit.
Shubhman Gill will definitely be the captain of the Indian team in the future, but he will get the captaincy in T20 only after the 2026 T20 World Cup. According to reports, Suryakumar Yadav has become fit. He has started practicing batting at the NCA. Official information about Surya's fitness will come in a few days. Reports say that Suryakumar Yadav will captain India in the 2025 Asia Cup.
If media reports are to be believed, the BCCI will announce Team India for the 2025 Asia Cup on August 19 or 20. At present, it is difficult to include Shubman Gill in the 15-member team, because India has been playing with a different team in T20 for the last one year and the players have also performed well in it. In such a situation, the Indian management can show confidence in those players who have played T20 cricket for India in the last one year.
Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel (vice-captain), Tilak Verma, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakraborty, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana and Jasprit Bumrah
