The Asia Cup has always been a battleground for thrilling contests and unforgettable performances. The T20 version, introduced in 2016, coincided with the rise of the shortest format globally.
With the Asia Cup 2025 scheduled to begin on September 9, fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Indian captain.
India’s participation in the T20 Asia Cup has been limited to two instances: 2016 and 2022. Remarkably, only two players have captained the team in this format.
In 2016, MS Dhoni led India in the inaugural T20 Asia Cup. Dhoni’s leadership and finishing skills guided India to a flawless victory, securing the trophy and establishing a strong foundation for India’s T20 Asia Cup journey.
Rohit Sharma assumed captaincy in 2022. Known for his tactical prowess and aggressive batting, Rohit led India in a fiercely contested tournament. Although India did not win the title, his leadership was pivotal in shaping the team’s T20 approach.
The T20 Asia Cup captaincy for India currently features only MS Dhoni (2016) and Rohit Sharma (2022). As the 2025 Asia Cup approaches, the anticipation grows: will Suryakumar Yadav take the helm, or will a new name be added?
From September 9th, the focus will be on who will lead India in this prestigious continental competition.
