— Vijay Tagore (@vijaymirror) August 18, 2025BCCI set to drop Shubman Gill as selectors back India’s new T20 stars for Asia Cup 2025
The selectors are ready to back India’s new-age T20 stars. The idea is to continue with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma as openers, while Tilak Varma is being looked at for the crucial No. 3 role. Captain Suryakumar Yadav is set to continue at No. 4 to form the backbone of India’s batting in T20Is.
Source was quoted as saying by Times of India: “Gill is a terrific batsman; all the selectors and head coach Gautam Gambhir are huge fans of his batting, and he is rated almost as highly as Virat Kohli in India’s cricket circles in terms of potential.”
'You can’t judge a player just by one IPL'
The selectors believe that sticking with these players will give India the edge in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 next month.
The source signed off by saying, “Even Hardik Pandya had a bad IPL last year (while captaining MI), but he turned out to be one of India’s biggest heroes of their 2024 T20 World Cup triumph in the West Indies. Even greats like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have endured bad IPLs, but they were a different beast while playing for India in T20Is. You can’t judge a player just by one IPL.”
