The Asia Cup, a stage for intense rivalries and memorable performances, transitioned to the T20 format in 2016, mirroring the global shift toward shorter formats. As the 2025 edition approaches on September 9, cricket fans are keen to discover who will captain the Indian team.
India’s history in the T20 Asia Cup is brief, with participation in only two tournaments: 2016 and 2022. Remarkably, only two players have held the captaincy.
MS Dhoni led India in the inaugural 2016 tournament. His composure and finishing abilities guided India to an undefeated run, securing the trophy. This marked a perfect beginning to India’s T20 Asia Cup journey.
In 2022, Rohit Sharma took over the captaincy. Known for his strategic acumen and aggressive batting, Sharma led India in a competitive edition. Although India didn’t win the title, his leadership significantly influenced the team’s T20 approach.
The T20 Asia Cup captaincy list for India comprises solely of MS Dhoni (2016) and Rohit Sharma (2022). The central question is whether Suryakumar Yadav will lead the team or if a new captain will emerge in 2025. Starting September 9, all eyes will be on the individual entrusted with leading India in the continental competition.
