The Indian side for the Asia Cup 2025 has been picked, and it marks the return of Indian Test skipper Shubman Gill. Shubman has been an asset to the Indian team; however, he was not part of the Indian squad for the last three T20I series against Bangladesh, South Africa, and England.
Ashwin, through his YouTube channel, has analysed India's T20I squad for the ACC event, and he thinks that Shubman Gill, a likely candidate who made a deserving return to the side, would mark the end of Sanju Samson's international career.
"What is sadder is that you have announced Gill as the vice-captain, so Sanju Samson's place is also under threat. Sanju Samson is not going to play. Shubman Gill will play, and he will open the batting," he asserted.
Ashwin sympathises with Shreyas Iyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal over Asia Cup snub
"See, I understand that selection is a thankless job. Leaving somebody out, telling someone they are dropped, it is not an easy thing. You have to speak to the players, you have to go through the sadness."
"When you have Yashasvi Jaiswal as the third opener in the T20 World Cup 2024, to remove someone from the World Cup squad and bring in Shubman Gill. I mean, it's okay, I am happy for Shubman, but I'm very sad for both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer. It is just not fair to these two kids," said Ashwin with a great logical explanation.
But it is not necessary to have the same captain in all formats - Ashwin
"Jaiswal has also been in some fine form. Maybe they are thinking of Shubman Gill as the leader for the future. Maybe he can be the all-format captain. But it is not necessary to have the same captain in all formats," Ashwin further said.
