India's former cricketer Aakash Chopra gave a bold advice to Shubman Gill ahead of the start of the Asia Cup 2025. Gill, who is the vice-captain of the team, last played in the T20I team back in 2024. However, after his outstanding performance in the past few series, the selectors have been quite impressed with him and his captaincy.
Moreover, there are many reports suggesting that the selectors are eyeing Gill as the future captain of India in all the formats of the game. Hence, this will be an opportunity for Gill to perform well and show the world what he is capable of. It will be interesting to watch the player in the Asia Cup 2025 since his IPL went well as well.
"Seize the moment and make it your own. It's an opportunity for Shubman Gill to silence the naysayers. It's an opportunity for Abhishek Sharma to enhance his reputation a little more. It's a chance for Tilak Varma to grab the No. 3 or No. 4 position, or else Shreyas Iyer is breathing down your neck," said Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel.
Aakash also spoke about Suryakumar Yadav and how he can try different combinations in the Asia Cup 2025 which will help the team in the upcoming T20 World Cup as well. In the next six months, the elite tournament is about to start and the Indian team will have to be prepared for everything.
"You have the opportunity to try different combinations. It's called the precursor to the symphony, as you have to play the World Cup after six months. While it is correct, there are 15 T20Is after this. It's not like this is the last T20I series," he added.
