Ex-India batter Aakash Chopra picked his "ideal" playing XI for Asia Cup 2025. He included openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy and pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. "I can't find a place for Sanju Samson because Gill is vice-captain," Aakash said.
