Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna fight for a place in the team

It is reported that Jasprit Bumrah has declared himself available for the Asia Cup team, so if he remains fit, no one can keep him out of the team. Arshdeep Singh will be in the team with him, while Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna will compete as the third fast bowler. If Bumrah is not there, then both of them can be included in the squad, Krishna was the Purple Cap winner in IPL 2025.

Who is the second all-rounder along with Hardik Pandya?

There will be a competition between Shivam Dubey and Nitish Kumar Reddy as an additional all-rounder. Shivam's statistics look better, so in the recent times it has been seen that the selectors and coach Gautam Gambhir are trusting Nitish.

There is tough competition among these players for additional batsmen

There is a tough competition between Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to get a place in the Indian squad for the Asia Cup as an additional batsman. Rahul can also open the innings along with wicketkeeping. Shreyas Iyer plays in an aggressive style and his record in big tournaments has also been excellent.

Yashasvi Jaiswal also bats in an explosive style, he is adept at hitting big shots from the first ball but Sanju and Abhishek's place as openers is considered certain, so Jaiswal's place looks a bit difficult. It remains to be seen who head coach Gautam Gambhir and the selectors give a chance in the team captained by Suryakumar Yadav.
