Axar Patel looks a certain in the Indian side, while Washington Sundar has also made a case for himself in recent times. The Chennai-born is among the contenders but may miss out eventually. Axar, having more experience in T20Is for India and ability to bowl left-arm spin, just edges Sundar.

Asia Cup 2025 India Squad Live: Vaibhav Suryavanshi to make sensational call-up?

Mykhel

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the newest sensation of Indian cricket. The 14-year-old scored 250+ runs in IPL 2025 for Rajasthan Royals and also showcased his class for India U19s.

Former national selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth has urged Ajit Agarkar to pick Suryavanshi in the India team, but it looks a far-fetched theory at the moment. Although Suryavanshi is tipped to play for India in near future, this Asia Cup looks not the one. Additionally, the southpaw is part of India's U19 team for the Australia tour as well.
