Under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India are taking on Team UAE in the second match of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Stadium.
Luck finally favored the Men In Blue, as India won the toss for the first time in 16 attempts in international cricket. Notably, India were going through the longest toss losing streak in international cricket with 15 consecutive losses from January to July 2025 across all formats. This run involved multiple captains, including Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav.
Samson has been India's first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman and opener in T20I cricket for a long time, but his place in the team is under threat after the return of Shubman Gill to the team as vice-captain, which guaranteed him a place in the XI.
We are flexible enough to do anything - Suryakumar Yadav
Speaking to Sanjay Manjrekar, Suryakumar Yadav said that they were bowling first because of the dew factor in the second innings.
"We are looking to bowl first. There is some green grass in the surface and also the weather is a bit humid. We are flexible enough to do anything. It's just that it's the first game out here after 3-4 months, so we wanted to bowl first.
