Rohit Sharma, a former Indian captain in the T20I format, continues to receive praise from the Indian fans. After India's win in the Asia Cup 2025, the Hitman deserves a statue of himself for keeping the team's spirit alive with the young talent who were groomed under him.

Rohit Sharma, a former Indian captain in the T20I format, continues to receive praise from the Indian fans for giving the team some stars. After India's win in the Asia Cup 2025, the Hitman deserves a statue of himself for keeping the team's spirit alive with the young talent who were groomed under him.

The Indian team continued its dominance in the Asia Cup 2025 by defeating Pakistan in the finals. This was the first time that India had defeated Pakistan in the final of the Asia Cup,

Whether it is Bumrah taking wickets for the team in the death overs, or Hardik Pandya with his all-round contribution, or Suryakumar Yadav leading the team to win, or even Tilak Varma contributing at critical phases, all three of them have one thing in common. They have been brought to the team under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, while some even proved themselves in the Mumbai Indians, under his captaincy.

1. Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma played for several years with the Mumbai Indians franchise, and he also got his maiden call-up for the Indian team in 2023. He remained one of the key reasons why India won the Asia Cup 2025, and also won the Player of the Match award in the finals against Pakistan.

Tilak Varma in the Asia Cup 2025:

  • Innings: 6
  • Not Out: 3
  • Runs: 213
  • Average: 71
  • Strike Rate: 131.48
  • 50s: 1

He scored just one half-century in the final match against Pakistan, but it also came at a time when the team needed it the most. After India's top order failed to perform, Tilak Varma scored 69 runs off 53 balls to help India chase down the target with two balls remaining. This shows how he has learned to perform under pressure situations under Rohit's captaincy.

2. Suryakumar Yadav

A great captain is created only when he is associated with another great captain. This is also the case with Suryakumar Yadav, who led the Indian team to win the Asia Cup 2025, being undefeated throughout the tournament. He was able to make it to the Indian team under the Hitman’s captaincy in the IPL.

Suryakumar Yadav in Asia Cup 2025:

  • Innings: 6
  • Not Out: 2
  • Runs: 72
  • Average: 18
  • Strike Rate: 101.46
  • 50s: 0

Spending much time with Rohit in both IPL and international matches, Suryakumar Yadav must have certainly learned a lot. And his teachings could be seen during the Asia Cup 2025, where he guided the Indian team to beat Pakistan three times, even a Super Over over Sri Lanka and a resounding victory over the UAE.

3. Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya remained an all round conqueror of the Indian team in the T20 format. He has been very instrumental to the Mumbai Indians, under the guidance of Rohit Sharma and even assisted the Indian team to win several trophies. He won the T20 World Cup 2024 and subsequently the Champions Trophy 2025 and now the Asia Cup 2025.

Hardik Pandya in Asia Cup 2025 (Batting):

  • Innings: 4
  • Not Out: 1
  • Runs: 48
  • Average: 16
  • Strike Rate: 120.00
  • 50s: 0

Hardik Pandya in Asia Cup 2025 (Bowling):

  • Innings: 6
  • Wickets: 4
  • Average: 30
  • Strike Rate: 21.00
  • Economy: 8.57

Despite his contributions with the bat being way below expectations, Hardik Pandya had a significant role to play with the ball. In other games, he would take the first ball of the team's inning and provide important breakthroughs during the initial stages of the game. With that, his significant catches and fielding work will never be forgotten by any fan.

4. Jasprit Bumrah

Despite not being at his best, Jasprit Bumrah made his contribution to the Indian team with the ball. By dominating the opponent batsmen in the initial overs, he also ensured that fewer runs were conceded by the team in the death overs.

Jasprit Bumrah in the Asia Cup 2025:

  • Innings: 5
  • Wickets: 7
  • Average: 19.28
  • Strike Rate: 15.57
  • Economy: 7.43

Bumrah continued to take wickets consistently for the Indian cricket team, bowling at his best line and length in the much-needed games. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team saw Jasprit Bumrah at his prime, where he was also the main reason why the team won the T20 World Cup 2024.
