Is Jasprit Bumrah playing today's IND vs SL Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match? 

Team India will be without star speedster Jasprit Bumrah in the 2025 Asia Cup Super Fours match against Sri Lanka in Dubai on Friday, September 26. It is a dead rubber as Sri Lanka have been eliminated from the race to the final and India have already secured a place in the summit clash.

While skipper Suryakumar Yadav didn't disclose a reason behind Bumrah's absence, the fast bowler was likely rested as part of his workload management. He was earlier rested during the Men in Blue's group-stage match against Oman in the edition.

Jasprit Bumrah is India's second-highest wicket-taker in the 2025 Asia Cup, with five scalps across four innings at an economy rate of 7.33. He registered figures of 4-0-18-2 in the side's 41-run win over Bangladesh on Wednesday, September 24.

Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav and Co. have a five-match unbeaten streak to their name in the tournament. They would look to continue their winning run ahead of the crucial final.

The 2025 Asia Cup final will see India taking on Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday, September 28. It will be the first time that the two arch-rivals will square off in the final of the continental event.
