Former Indian all -rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has given a blue warning against leaving Arshdeep Singh to play for the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan on Sunday, September 28 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Ravichandran has insisted that Arshdeep Singh should play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final in Dubai. The former Indian off-spinner insisted that the Left-Arm Paper in XI should be undisputed after its sensational performance against Sri Lanka in the Super Four Clash.
Ravichandran Ashwin asks India to play Arshdeep Singh in the Asia Cup
Punjab Pesar has played only two matches in the ongoing Continental tournament so far. Arshdeep Singh was spectacular under pressure in the super over against Sri Lanka. Taking two important wickets in the super over, he scored just two runs in the super over, winning the final delivery of India Clinch.

However, in the main game, the left -handed pace scored 46 runs and took one wicket in his four overs against the islands. Arshdeep has already become the fastest Indian pace to reach 100 wickets in 64 T20I games.
Nevertheless, Arshdeep Singh is not getting the constant opportunities with Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya in the Asia Cup 2025 with India.
Arshdeep should play the final: Ravichandran Ashwin
But beyond the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan, Ashwin emphasized that India not only needs Arshdeep bowling for the finals, but the team should also focus on developing tail-ends batting like them and Varun Chakravani is ahead of ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel ‘Ash Ki Baat’: “I will also say with my glasses!
And for the World Cup in six months, Arshadeep works on batting, works on Varun Chakraborty’s batting, and Bumrah can already hit a little and is a decent bat swing. The batting coach needs to be given more time to these people. ,

The former Indian all-rounder has further stated that even though Hardik Pandya is unavailable due to his thigh injury, Arshadeep’s inclusion is a no-brine for a big game in Dubai on Sunday and may have an opportunity to shine further.
Ashwin further said, “The way Arshdeep bowled, he again proved why we say on this channel that Arshdeep is needed. Once again, he proved it. So, in many ways, if it does not play Hardik, India will have to play Arshdeep.
Therefore, for India, Hardik is essential, but it is one of the situations where it can also be good, as Arshdeep will be played and can show again why he is an important bowler for India. ,
In particular, India and Pakistan will collide in the Asia Cup 2025 finals in Dubai, which is their first meeting in the Asia Cup final. In T20Is, India dominates 12 out of 15 matches, but Pakistan has historically performed better in the major tournament finals, winning seven in all formats than seven of India.
