Gautam Gambhir Snubs Virat Kohli, Hails Shubman Gill as 'Most Stylish' Player Ahead of Asia Cup 2025 | WATCH

Asia Cup 2025: Just ahead of the continental tournament, India coach Gautam Gambhir paid a visit to the Arun Jaitley stadium to watch the Delhi Premier League final. After the game, Gambhir got candid as he was given a few words to which he associated Indian players' names. It was a little funny, but what stood out was Gambhir not picking Virat Kohli when it came to the 'most stylish'. Kohli is regarded as one of the most stylish cricketers around the world. He is an advertiser's dream.

Can India Win Asia Cup 2025? 

Team India start overwhelming favourites to win the eight-nation Asia Cup 2025. The Indian team would be led by Suryakumar Yadav, with Gill being his deputy. The Indian team will play it's opener against the UAE and will then take on arch-rivals Pakistan in a high-voltage clash at the Dubai International stadium on September 14. 

It would be interesting to see the playing XI India opt for. As per reports, Team India would reach Dubai on September 4. The Indian team would not get a lot of time to train and get used to the conditions there.
