Despite being out due to injury to Hardik Pandya, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir has not considered Arshdeep Singh to play the XI to play for the Asia Cup final with Jaspreet Bumrah. India has portrayed Shivam Dubey as its second paceman.
India is taking the Asia Cup to Pakistan in the 2025 finals. After a huge interval of 8 years, both teams are facing each other in the knockout game. He last played in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final, and this is the first time these two Asian veterans are acting together in the Asia Cup final.
Koi Arshdeep Singh; Facilities as Jasprit Bumrah Lone Frontline Pesar
Indian coach Gautam Gambhir is largely known for his antics, who often leave their decisions surprised. He has ignored India’s most successful T20I bowler, Arshdeep Singh since his appointment.
Singh, who has not recently been regular in the Indian side, portrayed the last game against Sri Lanka and performed a brilliant performance in the 19th over, followed by a brilliant super-over which won the match for India.
However, despite his strong performance in the previous game, Arshdeep Singh once again missed a place in Shee for the Asia Cup final. India has been on a pacer since rejecting Hardik Pandya. Jasprit Bumrah is the only stars in the Indian side as the only pacer.
Hardik Pandya recalls the important final due to injury; Rinku Singh replaces experienced all -rounder
On the other hand, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has missed the final due to his left hamstring and went out of the field after bowling for the first time in India’s last Asia Cup 2025.
Indian finisher Rinku Singh has recalled the Games for the entire Asia Cup; However, he replaces Hardik Pandya. Rinku can combine the power of the necessary muscles on the Indian side.
Another all-rounder, Shivam Dubey, has been handed over a new ball instead, and fans have caused their outbreaks on the Gambhir for another strange call from the Champions Trophy-winning coach.
“Arshdeep Singh feels for …. It breaks the heart of every Indian fan” – Passer’s disappointed fans are being left out of the Asia Cup final
Meet this clules and pathetic coach Gautam Gambhir
– Hardik Pandya is not injured any other pacer
– Anyone must have played Arshdeep
– This man liked Rinku as an additional batsman

Feel for Arshdeep Singh-He won the match with Match Vs Sri Lanka with a magical super and on 19th bowling …
And now he is not playing in the Ind vs. Pak Asia Cup final on a flat wicket.
It breaks the heart of every Indian fan. #Indvspak2025 pic.twitter.com/t1kmnm2Lc9– baklolcricker (@baklolcricter) September 28, 2025
Strange is that Arshdeep Singh is not playing in the absence of Hardik – strange team selection. We are going to the depth of batting with Rinku getting a chance. I hope it changes nothing for us.

Gautam Gambhir’s decision of idiom for Arshdeep Singh …
Arshdeep is India’s top T20 pacer. He was the leading wicket of India. He had first destroyed Pakistan like the 2022 Asia Cup.

India wants to strengthen its batting and that is why they have decided to go with Rinku Singh as a replacement of Hardik Pandya.
Many will argue that Arshdeep Singh should have been selected, but it is clear that
Gambhir and Surya want the depth of batting.#ASIACUPFINAL #Indvspak2025 pic.twitter.com/ph1axfg3g6
