    Rahane Predicts Gill And Abhishek To Open The Batting For India In Asia Cup

    By IANS News August 21, 2025 • 19:48 PM View: 1790
    T20 Asia Cup: With Shubman Gill returning to the squad for the 2025 Men’s T20 Asia Cup, the focus has shifted to what would be India’s opening combination for the tournament. Veteran Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane feels that in his opinion, Gill and Abhishek Sharma are likely to open the batting.

    On a personal note, Rahane said he would like Sanju Samson to retain his position as the opener. Gill’s return to the India T20I team as the vice-captain means that Samson may be relegated to the back-up opening role. In that case, Jitesh Sharma might slot in the middle-order and take up keeping duties.

    “As a team, I think they have a very good problem to solve for the opening pair. Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma have done really well in that slot. But Shubman is back in the team. I'm sure he is most likely to open with Abhishek Sharma.”
