These 15 players will enter the Asia Cup without Rohit-Kohli, coach Gambhir finalized all names
Asia cup 2025: After Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirement from T20I, the Indian team has now entered a new era. In the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 (Asia Cup 2025), which will be played in T20 format, Team India will hit the ground without a long time without these two veterans. In such a situation, head coach Gautam Gambhir has finalized the 15 -member team with a new thinking, in which young players have been given priority.
New captain, new team – future preparations begin
Gautam Gambhir has started preparing the team in future. Hardik Pandya may be given the command of the team in place of Suryakumar Yadav emerging from the recent surgery, while Rishabh Pant may get a chance as his deputy. This indication is clear that now the Indian team has started preparing for the T20 World Cup 2026.
The team also includes batsmen like Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rituraj Gaikwad and Tilak Verma, who can become the backbone of Team India in the coming time.
A strong combination of all -rounders and bowlers
All -rounders in the team can be given special importance. Players like Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel and Shivam Dubey work to balance the team in both batting and bowling.
The fast bowling attack includes Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan and Mohammad Siraj, while the spin department will be responsible for Ravi Bishnoi and Sundar. All these players can bring durability for India in T20 cricket.
