In a format where consistency is often elusive, all three players have made a strong case with their IPL 2025 performances.
Jaiswal, with his aggressive strokeplay, hammered 559 runs at a striking strike-rate of 160 in the last edition. Gill, who captained Gujarat Titans and opened alongside Sudharsan, scored a commendable 650 runs in 15 games, with a strike-rate exceeding 155.
Sudharsan, on the other hand, went one better — finishing the tournament with the Orange Cap. His 759 runs came at a strike-rate of 156, cementing his credentials as a reliable and explosive top-order option.
“There is a five week break and with no cricket around, these three should walk into any T20 squad despite stupendous show by Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma,” the BCCI source added. “In 21 days in Asia Cup, if one plays till final, there are 6 T20 games and that’s not much of a workload. But obviously with 17-member squads allowed for the Asia Cup, selectors will weigh options carefully.”
