Asia Cup 2025: India are set to kick off their Asia Cup 2025 campaign against the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday (September 10) at the Dubai International Stadium. The encounter marks the beginning of a new chapter in Indian cricket, as the team steps forward without two modern-day legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
New Era Under Suryakumar Yadav
Leading the side will be Suryakumar Yadav, who brings an aggressive and fearless mindset to captaincy. Supporting him will be vice-captain Shubman Gill, who is also the Test skipper. Gill is expected to open the innings with youngster Abhishek Sharma, setting the stage for India’s top-order.

Strong Bowling Attack With Bumrah and Kuldeep
On the bowling front, pace ace Jasprit Bumrah will lead the fast-bowling unit, supported by Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. In spin, Kuldeep Yadav is set to play a pivotal role during the middle overs, with Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy adding variety to India’s spin options.
Afghanistan Shine In Opening Match
The Asia Cup 2025 kicked off with Afghanistan securing a thumping 94-run win over Hong Kong in the opening game. Afghanistan posted 188/6, powered by opener Sediqullah Atal’s unbeaten 73 and Azmatullah Omarzai’s record-breaking 20-ball half-century, the fastest T20I fifty by an Afghan player.
Hong Kong could only manage 94/9 in reply, giving Afghanistan an early advantage in Group B, which also features Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
