Surprisingly enough, Harbhajan Singh has not picked Sanju Samson in his India squad for the Asia Cup 2025, but gave a spot to Shreyas Iyer.
He added that Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, and Riyan Parag could handle middle-order duties, with Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav being spin-bowling options.
"Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh. KL Rahul is a name that I didn't take. He can also be a very, very good option since I am not putting any other keeper. KL can be another option. One of them or Rishabh Pant should be there".
You need to understand that the T20 format is not just about hitting - Harbhajan Singh
Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh has backed Shubman Gill to make it to India's Asia Cup squad as he feels that the batter can switch gears and play ultra-aggressive cricket when needed.
"If you look at the IPL, he has scored runs every season. He wears the Orange Cap on his head, and that doesn't come to you, just like that. It is not like he bats at a 120 strike rate; he bats at a strike rate of 160, 150 strike rate," Harbhajan said.
I think he can play the format well and dominate as well - Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan also said that Gill possesses the ability to showcase sheer dominance by playing big knocks in T20I cricket.
Notably, some reports claimed that Shubman Gill will be added to India's Asia Cup 2025 squad as vice-captain, replacing Axar Patel in the role.
Overall, Shubaman Gill has scored 578 runs for India in 21 T20I matches at an average of 30.42 and a strike rate of 139.27.
