Harbhajan Singh picks his India squad—no Rinku and Tilak
Harbhajan Singh picks his own predicted squad for the Asia Cup 2025. He added Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal for a deep batting lineup. He neglected some players in his squad.
Rinku Singh has been a regular T20I batsman for India. He was a member of all the series in 2025. Tilak Varma also has better stats in the T20I cricket.Their spot in the Asia Cup 2025 is in doubt. They may miss the Asia Cup 2025 this year.
Rinku is the best power hitter who can score well in the death overs. He was also doing well in the T20Is. However, Shubman Gill’s exceptional performance makes his spot in doubt.
Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma’s futures are unclear.
Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma’s participation in the future T20I tournament is also unclear. Rinku has scored some runs as a power hitter. His participation in the upcoming tournament spots his eligibility for the T20 World Cup 2026.
If Rinku Singh gets picked in the Asia Cup 2025, BCCI may pick him in the ICC tournament in 2026. Tilak Varman is also not in the plans. So, their future is unclear in this regard.
Shubman Gill Returns Strong
Shubman Gill led well in the last Test series against England. He also scored many runs to lead his team to victory. Zhi’s comeback in the test gives a strong prediction of his participation as vice-captain in the Asia Cup 2025.
