Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Former opener Virender Sehwag believes the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team possesses the skill, balance and mindset needed to handle high-pressure conditions in the upcoming Men’s T20 Asia Cup and has backed them to lift the trophy.

In the squad announced at the BCCI headquarters on Tuesday, Shubman Gill made a return to India's T20I squad for the Asia Cup and will also be the vice-captain. India’s squad is further strengthened by the presence of the likes of Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson.

India has won the Asia Cup eight times, including emerging victorious in T20I edition of the competition held in Bangladesh in 2016. "Asia Cup has always brought out the best in Indian cricket. The team today has the skill, balance, and mindset to handle any challenge.”
