Ravishing Indian talent Yashasvi Jaiswal issues an ultimatum to the Indian selectors to pick him up for the Asia Cup 2025, promising that he can turn things up with his form and dominance in the shortest format of the game.
Indian youngsters have been showing some class apart from cricket in the IPL, as even the last IPL marked several new players who outshone even the greats of the game. One of the few names that often clicks in one's mind is that of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh.
With the team selections underway for the upcoming Asia Cup, every youngster is citing this as an opportunity to break into the Indian squad, while Sai Sudharsan remains the frontrunner if Gambhir's ideal of picking T20I players from the IPL is given priority.
