'Where is Shreyas Iyer? How could he miss out?': Dinesh Karthik slams India's Asia Cup squad omission

Shreyas Iyer (PTI Photo) NEW DELHI: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has strongly questioned the exclusion of Shreyas Iyer from India's 2025 Asia Cup squad, calling it a 'tad bit unfair.' The BCCI on Tuesday named a 15-member squad, along with five reserves, for the tournament — but Iyer's absence has triggered widespread debate. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The 30-year-old has been in sizzling form. In IPL 2025, Iyer amassed 604 runs at an average of 50.33 and a strike rate of 170.07, guiding Punjab Kings to the final with six half-centuries. Despite those numbers, he found no place either in the main squad or among the reserves. Poll Should Shreyas Iyer have been included in India's Asia Cup 2025 squad? Yes, definitely! No, the team is fine without him. Maybe, depends on team strategy. Reacting to the snub, Karthik took to Instagram on Thursday and said: 'Where is Shreyas Iyer? That's the big question, isn't it? How could he miss out? To a point, it's understandable. He wasn't part of the 15, considering how well Team India have done. 17 out of the last 20 they have won, so okay, continuity, fair. But not making him part of the other five players which you have earmarked for the near future with the T20 World Cup in mind?' Karthik further added: 'Closing doors on him? That's a tad bit unfair and I hope it doesn't happen because he has done outstandingly well as a leader, but even better as a batter under pressure.' He concluded by stressing Iyer's value: 'It looks a solid squad, but again Shreyas Iyer, I feel, should have been part of the 20 for sure.' Iyer has played 51 T20Is for India, scoring 1,104 runs with eight fifties — numbers that only add weight to Karthik's argument. India's Asia Cup 2025 squad Suryakumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh. Reserves: Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

In Numbers: India's Asia Cup squad – IPL 2025 form under the spotlight

File Pic: Suryakumar Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy The announcement of India's 15-member squad for the 2025 Asia Cup has sparked plenty of debate, with the elevation of Test skipper Shubman Gill as T20I vice-captain and the return of spearhead Jasprit Bumrah grabbing headlines. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While big names like Shreyas Iyer missed out despite stellar domestic and IPL showings, the selectors appear to have leaned heavily on recent performances in the shortest format — particularly the IPL 2025 season, the last competitive T20 cricket most of these players featured in. Poll Who do you think will be the standout player for India in the 2025 Asia Cup? Suryakumar Yadav Shubman Gill Jasprit Bumrah Hardik Pandya Suryakumar Yadav and Gill lead the batting charge Captain Suryakumar Yadav enters the Asia Cup in red-hot form. He was sensational in IPL 2025, powering Mumbai Indians to Qualifier 2 with 717 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 167.91. His consistency, flair, and ability to dominate attacks ensured he finished second on the run charts behind only Sai Sudharsan (759). Vice-captain Gill, who shouldered leadership duties for Gujarat Titans, enjoyed a prolific season as well. The right-hander amassed 650 runs with six fifties, striking at 155.87. Gill's run-making under pressure and recent form in England Tests has made him a natural deputy to Suryakumar in this squad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3BHK Transformation Possible for ₹4.5 Lakh? HomeLane Get Quote Undo India Asia Cup squad: Why Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill are biggest talking points Abhishek Sharma, the big-hitting opener, has added further firepower to the lineup with 439 runs at a staggering strike rate of 193.39, including a whirlwind 141. In contrast, Tilak Varma had a modest season, managing 343 runs at 138.30 strike rate, while finishers Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh struggled to replicate their earlier form, scoring 357 and 206 runs respectively. All-rounders and spinners offer balance All-rounder Hardik Pandya had a steady IPL season, contributing with both bat and ball. He scored 224 runs at 163.50 while also picking up 14 wickets, underlining his importance as a finisher and sixth-bowling option. Axar Patel chipped in with useful runs (263 at 157.48), though his five wickets suggested a relatively quiet season with the ball. Among spinners, Kuldeep Yadav (15 wickets at 7.07 economy) and Varun Chakaravarthy (17 wickets at 7.66 economy) were effective in containing batters. Bumrah's return strengthens bowling The biggest boost for India is the return of Jasprit Bumrah, who looked in fine rhythm during IPL 2025. The ace pacer claimed 18 wickets in 12 matches at an economy of just 6.67, showcasing his trademark yorkers and control at the death. Arshdeep Singh was also among the wickets, finishing with 21 scalps, though his higher economy (8.88) could be an area of concern. The third pacer Harshit Rana's high economy (10.18) offset his 15 wickets in the season. Strong bench strength in reserves India's reserves underline the depth at their disposal. Prasidh Krishna bagged the Purple Cap with 25 wickets, while Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered 559 runs at a brisk 159.71. Riyan Parag (393 runs) and Dhruv Jurel (333 runs) further strengthened their cases for future selections. Selection debates linger Despite this depth, the omission of Shreyas Iyer (604 runs at 175.07 strike rate) — an IPL finalist and proven leader — continues to divide opinion. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar pointed to the 'abundance of T20 talent,' a reminder that even consistent performers are not guaranteed a place in India's crowded T20 landscape. As Team India gears up for the Asia Cup starting September 9, the players' IPL 2025 performances suggest a squad brimming with form and firepower. The bigger test will be whether they can carry this momentum onto the international stage — especially against arch-rivals Pakistan and in UAE conditions that often favour spin and tactical nous. Team India squad for Asia Cup 2025 Surya Kumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh Reserve players: Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal.
