Asia Cup 2025: 3 Players to watch out for in India vs UAE, Match 2

The third edition of the T20 Asia Cup got underway on September 9 with the match between Hong Kong and Afghanistan. The second match of the tournament is scheduled to take place between India and the UAE at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. India are the favourites to lift the title while the UAE are appearing in the Asia Cup for the first time since 2016. Here are 3 Players to watch out for in the IND vs UAE clash

1. Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill is certain to open the innings alongside Abhishek Sharma, having returned to the T20 set up as the vice-captain of the team. He is playing the shortest format of the game after a gap of almost 15 months and will be keen on proving his mettle at the top of the order. Gill has so far played 21 T20Is in his career, scoring 578 runs at an average of 30.42 and a strike rate of 139.28 with three fifties and a hundred to his name.

2. Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh is closer to a special milestone in the shortest format of the game. He needs only one wicket to become the first Indian bowler to complete 100 wickets in T20Is. The left-arm seamer is currently on 99 wickets after 63 matches at an average of 18.3 and a strike rate of 13.23. Arshdeep is a wicket-taker and tends to move the new ball both ways. Moreover, he can also bowl well in the death overs, having proved his skills multiple times for India and in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

3. Muhammad Waseem

Muhammad Waseem is the captain of the UAE and he will be delighted to be leading his side against a team like India. He is also among the most experienced players in the UAE squad, having played 82 matches while scoring 2922 runs at an average of 37.95 and a strike rare of 155.68. He will open the innings for the UAE and will be key for them in this game.
