Ind vs uae asia cup 2025: In the Asia Cup 2025, Team India is playing its first match at Dubai International Stadium with UAE. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bowl first. After 15 consecutive defeats, India finally won the toss. But, more Surya was shocked to the fans more than the toss, when there were many major changes in the team. Let us tell you what 3 major changes have been made in the Indian team against UAE.
3 major changes in Team India against UAE
Arshdeep Singh out of playing 11
The absence of Arshdeep Singh from Indian playing 11 has become a big surprise for all fans. Yes, Arshdeep, who took the most wickets in the T20I World Cup 2024, refused to give a place in the team. This left -arm fast bowler has the ability to wave the ball in the air on both sides. From above it has the ability to take wickets from both new and old balls. Arshdeep is the highest wicket -taking bowler for India in T20 International cricket. Arshdeep has taken 99 wickets in 63 T20I matches with an average of 18.30 and an economy of 8.30. His best bowling figure is 4-9. In such a situation, not playing against UAE raises a big question.
Sanju Samson’s changed batting order
Now Shubman Gill is playing as a vice -captain in Team India, so obviously he is going to open. In such a situation, Sanju Samson will now have to come to bat in the middle order itself. In that too, this batsman can be sent to number 5, because Tilak Verma comes at number 3 and Suryakumar Yadav at number 4. In such a situation, Sanju can be seen playing below. However, Sanju has batted for India in the last several T20 international matches. He has scored 861 runs in 42 matches at an average of 25.32. Apart from this, he has 3 centuries and 2 half -centuries. In such a situation, changing their batting order is a big decision.
