The Asia Cup 2025 is going to start from 9 September, and the tournament will run till 29 September. The Indian cricket team is expected to be announced for the Asia Cup later this month. This time this tournament will be played in T20 format and fans will also see such a view, which has not been seen in the Asia Cup for the last 21 years. This time the champion of the previous edition Team India will come down to win the title.
This will happen after 21 years in Asia Cup
Actually, this time in the Asia Cup, fans will miss the shortage of 2 big players. Veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will not be part of this tournament. Both these players have retired from T20i format, due to which they will not be selected in the team. This will be the first time after 21 years, when none of these two players will be seen on the field in the Asia Cup. The Asia Cup was last played in 2004 without these two stars, then neither of these two debuted in international cricket.
At the same time, at least one of the players from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma has played the Asia Cup in every edition. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been the two biggest pillars of Indian cricket for the last two decades. Both of them not only created panic worldwide with their batting, but have played an important role in India’s victory in big tournaments like Asia Cup. In 2010, the two players together won the title to the team. At the same time, Rohit and Virat were also part of the Indian team winning the 2016 Asia Cup.
Rohit’s strong record
Rohit Sharma won the 2018 Asia Cup of 2018 under his captaincy. In 2023 too, Team India won this tournament under Rohit’s captaincy. Virat Kohli was also part of the team then. But this time Indian fans will miss these two players.
