India will return to white ball action starting with the Asia Cup 2025. The tournament will be played in the T20 format this year and will be played in the UAE starting September 9. The multi-nation tournament has in recent years served as a rehearsal for upcoming ICC events, following an alternative ODI and T20I pattern. India won the last edition in 2023 before the 2023 World Cup. The T20 version was played in 2022 with Sri Lanka lifting the title.
The Asia Cup 2025 will see a host of first time captains. Suryakumar Yadav, Charith Asalanka, Salman Ali Agha and Litton Das will all be leading their sides in a multi-nation tournament for the first time. On that note, we take a look at all the winning captains of the prestigious Asia Cup across formats in history.
