Asia Cup 2027 Team India probable squad: Asia Cup 2025 ended on a grand note, where Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets and won the trophy. With this victory, India won the Asia Cup title for a record ninth time.
Now the eyes of the fans are on the next big tournament – Asia Cup 2027, which will be played in ODI format. Before the tournament, the probable squad of the Indian team has been revealed, in which the dominance of the players of Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been seen.
The 2027 Asia Cup will be played in the ODI format, which will be held before the ICC ODI World Cup 2027. The Indian team includes four players from Mumbai Indians — Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma. The experience and form of these four players will prove to be a big strength for Team India.
Whereas Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma have been included from Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kohli's experience, Patidar's consistency and Jitesh's finishing ability make the team strong. The squad offers a balance of experience and youthful enthusiasm, making India strong contenders for the title.
According to reports, Shubman Gill can be given the command of Team India in Asia Cup 2027. He has impressed with both his captaincy and batting over the years. Gill, as captain of the Test team, leveled the series against England at 2–2 and defeated the West Indies 2–0. Apart from this, he will also handle the captaincy of the ODI team on the Australia tour.
There is talk of making Shreyas Iyer the vice-captain. His calm nature and strategic understanding give balance to the team. He led Delhi Capitals to the final in 2020, KKR to their third title in 2024, and Punjab Kings to the final after 11 years in 2025 — achievements that make him a strong contender for the vice-captaincy.
The return of Rishabh Pant is the biggest news among experienced players. Pant has performed brilliantly after recovering from injury. His aggressive batting and wicketkeeping are proving invaluable to the team.
Along with this, players like KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill will provide depth to the team's batting. Especially Iyer, who did not get a place in the Asia Cup 2025, but his technique and stability are in favor of bringing him back into the ODI team.
Team India looks completely balanced in the bowling department also. The responsibility of fast bowling will be on the shoulders of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Harshit Rana. Whereas in the spin department, names like Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakraborty will give depth to the team.
Bumrah's experience, Siraj's fast line-length and the spin pair of Kuldeep-Jadeja can prove to be a challenge for the opposition teams.
Asia Cup 2027 will be played in ODI format and this tournament will be held before the ICC World Cup 2027. This will be the 18th edition of the Asia Cup. The host country has not been officially announced yet, but it is expected that the tournament can be played in UAE or Sri Lanka.
The World Cup 2027 will be held in South Africa, so the Asia Cup will prove to be an important preparation tournament for the Indian team.
