India is to play their next match against Oman on 19 September in the Asia Cup 2025. At the same time, Team India can make a change in its playing XI for this match. Actually, Jasprit Bumrah can be rested during this period. Currently, India will play their matches in Super-4 on 21, 24 and 26 September.
This will be followed by the final on September 28. In such a situation, if this team qualify for the title contest, then they may have to play four matches in seven days. According to PTI, the team management understands the importance of keeping its lead fast bowler refreshed for the challenging phase.
Whether Bumrah himself wants to stay out of the match or not, it cannot be said. But this decision is expected to be practical because it is better to keep it fully prepared for the last phase of the tournament instead of a low importance match. In such a situation, there is a possibility of playing one in Arshdeep Singh or Harshit Rana.
Arshadeep’s claim will be strong as he is more experienced. He is close to completing 100 wickets in T20 International. On the batting front, the top and middle -order batsmen would like to spend more time at the crease under the circumstances of the match. In such a situation, Rinku Singh is less likely to get a chance.
India’s possible playing 11
Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakraborty.
