Former cricketer of India, Virender Sehwag, has supported India's star middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav to be the most important player in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE.

A player with a notorious attitude of fearless retribution, Sehwag hailed Yadav for taking the same attitude to his captaincy performance. He emphasised that the future of India in the Asia Cup will depend on the capability of Yadav to lead the team by example.

Surya does not avoid challenges. The aggressive and fearless attitude is what makes him stand out, and should India emulates this style, they can be the king of this Asia Cup, Sehwag pointed out.

Asia Cup will commence on 9th September, and the newly formed India will face a stiff test against UAE on 10th September in Dubai. India vs Pakistan will be given the most anticipated match of the tournament, which will be played on September 14, with another group match against Oman on September 19 in Abu Dhabi.

Sehwag is optimistic that India has a fair balance in the team which has a good advantage. Young talent with the likes of Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Rinku Singh, in addition to the experience of Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, make the team diverse. He also commended the selectors for investing in new talent as well as maintaining a core.

India Asia Cup 2025 Squad:

Main squad: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep, Yadav, Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson.

Reserves: Prasidh krishna, Washington sundar, Riyan parag, Dhruv jurel, Yashasvi jaiswal.

With the promise of an exciting contest, fans are looking forward to whether Sehwag was bullish enough with his prediction, and moreover, whether Yadav can be the leader to take India to yet another Asia Cup win.
