India Players Who Can Possibly Miss Asia Cup 2025 Team KL Rahul Previously, there were rumors that KL Rahul might be a surprise inclusion in the India T20I team. He had a great IPL 2025 season, scoring 539 runs in 13 games with a strike rate of 149.72. Despite such a good season, the selectors are not certain of his place in the team. Rahul has the ability to bat up the order, but India already possess Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson for those roles.

There are only three days between the Asia Cup final and West Indies Test series, and it is said that the team wishes to keep Jaiswal fresh for the Tests. Shreyas Iyer One of the most successful IPL captains and arguably the best leader of the IPL 2025 season, Shreyas Iyer's reported omission has come as a shock to many. He played a brilliant IPL season, scoring 604 runs in 17 games. But even with his impressive performance, the selectors are said not to be considering him for the T20I team.
