Asia cup: Team India is once again in the Asia Cup final. But this time the picture of the Asia Cup final is slightly different because this time India has entered the finals with its rip -up team Pakistan.
Both teams are seen in the Asia Cup final for the first time. Now the final match of the tournament is to be played tomorrow. In the tournament, all the players of the Indian team got a chance to play except 2 players. It seems that BCCI UAE had taken these 2 players only as a tourist. He has not got a chance to play a single match. Let’s know about those players-
These 2 players did not get a chance to play in Asia Cup
The Asia Cup 2025 (ASIA CUP) was dominated by the Indian team. India dominated the entire tournament all teams. India entered the finals without losing. All the players of India performed their talent well. But there are 2 such players in the team who did not get a chance to showcase their talent in this tournament.
The player is none other than T20 format lead player Rinku Singh and wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma. Both these players have not got a chance to play a single match in the Asia Cup 2025 (Asia Cup).
Final leaf is also cut
Let me tell you that Rinku and Jitesh have not been given a chance to play a single match in this tournament. The reason behind this is that both these players do not have a place in the team. Due to lack of space in the playing, it is difficult to get a place in the final match of these two players. Because the team already includes more than one batsman.
The team has been filled with batsmen from number one to 8th position in which Rinku does not have any place. Initially start the innings like Abhishek and Shubman Gill, then captain Suryakumar Yavad and Tilak Verma are in third and fourth place.
At the same time, Sanju Samson is the captain’s first choice as wicketkeeper batsman in the team, who is batting at number 5. Due to which Jitesh Sharma does not have another option but to sit on the bench. After this, 3 all -rounders of India are also in the team, who are contributing to both batting and bowling. In such a situation, it is difficult for Rinku and Jitesh to find a place in the team even further.
