Team India will take on hosts UAE in match number two of Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, September 10. This will be the first match in Group A of the T20 tournament. Pakistan and Oman are the other two sides in Group A.
Suryakumar Yadav will captain the Men in Blue in the 2025 Asia Cup. The 34-year-old was retained as leader of the T20I team after clearing his fitness test following his rehabilitation. The right-handed batter had undergone surgery for sports hernia in Munich, Germany in June.
Shubman Gill, who was recalled to the Indian T20I team following his batting exploits in the Test series in England, has been named vice-captain. While the Men in Blue's playing XI for Asia Cup 2025 is more or less confirmed, there has been some debate over Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh.
