The Asia Cup 2025 tournament is all set to kick off on September 9. The 'Men in Blue' will begin their campaign on September 10 against the UAE. Ahead of the mega event, Team India's think tank will have a major concern — picking two wicket-keepers in the squad
Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson would be a top choice for Team India in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025. The right-hander has tasted decent success in the shortest format of the game and will emerge as one of the top picks for the side
KL Rahul
The management can also keep its options open for in-form batsman, KL Rahul. The right-hander has recently had a successful Test campaign in England, where he showcased his skills at the top order. However, if the veteran is asked to open the innings, it will then be an exhausting job for him to don the 'Big Gloves'
Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant would have been a confirmed choice of Team India's think tank for the upcoming marquee event. But the left-hander sustained an injury on his foot, for which he may need a specific period of time to recover. If he manages to recover in time, Pant would be expected to pass the fitness test
Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan may emerge as a dark horse in the race. Earlier, there were speculations that he turned down the call-up from BCCI to feature in the Test series as a cover for Pant. According to several reports, Kishan informed the board about his injury. It will be interesting to see if he shows up for the side in the Asia Cup 2025
