Former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra lashed out at the India National Cricket Team head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar despite the team’s massive nine-wicket win over the UAE in their first Asia Cup 2025 game in Dubai on September 10.
However, this strategy worked, as they restricted the UAE to a paltry 57 runs inside 14 overs, and Kuldeep Yadav was the standout bowler with the stunning figures of 4/7 in 2.1 overs. Dube also got three wickets in his two overs while conceding only four runs.
Later, the Men in Blue shot down the target in just 27 balls with nine wickets in hand to have a winning start to their Asia Cup 2025 campaign. But Aakash Chopra was not happy with the playing XI selection as the preparations had begun for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
Aakash Chopra blasts ‘Champions Trophy Hangover’ in Gautam Gambhir's plans
Chopra questioned whether the team is truly picking its strongest eleven or simply relying on outdated plans. He boldly claimed that Ashdeep Singh was a much better option than Jasprit Bumrah, yet the left-arm pacer was forced to warm the bench against the UAE.

Chopra signed off by saying, “You have to pick your best team. Arshdeep Singh. 99 wickets, Arshdeep Singh has got more wickets and better numbers than Jasprit Bumrah in T20s for India.”
The decision was purely based on the conditions. Notably, the Punjab lad had also warmed the bench in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the recent five-match Test series in England.
