Asia Cup 2025: Predicting India's strongest playing XI

Dubai and Abu Dhabi will host matches during the Asia Cup 2025, which will take place in the United Arab Emirates from September 9 to 29. India, which is in Group A with Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, will play their first match against the United Arab Emirates on September 10 and then the much-anticipated match versus Pakistan on September 14.

As the T20 World Cup draws near, India will try to decide its ideal lineup. This is the tournament's strongest predicted XI for India.

Here is the predicted strongest India playing XI for Asia Cup 2025:

Abhishek Sharma brings bold aggression to the top in the powerplay overs, hitting the ball in the air fearlessly. Sanju Samson, who serves as the wicketkeeper in addition to providing explosiveness as an opener, is his partner. Samson is a dependable option in these circumstances due to his increased consistency and experience. He will also keep wickets for India.

Suryakumar Yadav is the side leader and the pillar of the middle order. This batting lineup will be powered by SKY, who is renowned for his 360-degree stroke play and excellence against both pace and spin. Tilak Varma, a left-hander, provides stability against spin-heavy approaches by adding poise and variation. Particularly on slower UAE surfaces, Hardik Pandya's power hitting and ability to contribute with medium pace make him an essential cog in the wheel at number five.

Rinku Singh has established a solid reputation as a reliable closer under duress. Axar Patel, who adds all-around value with his rapid rushes down the order and precise left-arm spin, complements his finishing abilities. When combined, they give the Indian batting lineup more depth and firepower.

Kuldeep Yadav spearheads the spin attack in the bowling department thanks to his track record of collecting vital wickets. Varun Chakaravarthy, a mystery spinner, offers a cunning element that is very helpful while changing tracks. He can also bowl with a new ball to tie up the opposition openers at the top.

Because of his skill with the new ball and ability to maintain control at the end, Arshdeep Singh will be a part of the pace assault. Depending on exertion and fitness, either Jasprit Bumrah or Mohammed Siraj will complete the starting lineup. This unit provides India with impact and stability in a variety of circumstances.

Predicted strongest India playing XI for Asia Cup 2025:

Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Suryakumar Yadav (C), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj/Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy.
