Former India spinner Murali Kartik highlighted the depth in Indian cricket, stating that IPL 2025 Orange Cap holder, Sai Sudharsan, can't make the side. "Washington Sundar [and] Ruturaj Gaikwad can’t make the side. Arshdeep Singh can’t make the XI," the 49-year-old added. Talking about the India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match, Kartik said, "India looked possibly the best side on view."
