One of the key battles to watch out for is between the India vice-captain, Shubman Gill, and Pakistan pace spearhead Shaheen Afridi. They have faced off four times in international cricket, with Gill scoring 62 runs and Afridi taking two wickets. Shubman Gill and Shaheen Afridi have been among not only the exciting talents but also key players for their respective teams in the Asia Cup 2025.
Gill is known for his aggressive batting combined with his elegant strokeplay, while anchoring the innings at the top for Team India. Afridi, on the other hand, has a lethal pace and the ability to swing the ball in both ways. The battle between Shubman Gill and Shaheen Afridi will likely to be more of a strategic duel, with Gill looking to dominate the strike, while Afridi aims to outsmart the Indian batter with his swing and variations.
