BCCI has finally revealed the much-awaited 15-member Team India squad for the Asia Cup 2025, putting an end to weeks of suspense and speculation. The biggest highlight is that Hardik Pandya will serve as vice-captain, indicating the board’s confidence in his leadership skills, especially after his successful IPL 2025 campaign.
The team will be led by Rohit Sharma, who remains India’s most experienced campaigner in white-ball cricket. Star batsmen Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Suryakumar Yadav retain their spots, while Rishabh Pant makes a remarkable comeback as the first-choice wicketkeeper. Among bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah will lead the pace attack alongside Mohammed Siraj, with Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja handling spin duties.
Interestingly, the selection committee has given a nod to youngsters like Rinku Singh and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who have been in stellar form. The squad’s announcement sparked massive excitement on social media, with “#TeamIndiaAsiaCup” trending instantly.
With the Asia Cup around the corner, India’s balanced squad looks poised to dominate. The return of key players and the blend of experience and youth make the team favorites to lift the trophy.
