Top IPL 2025 performers who might not get picked in India's Asia Cup squad
Several IPL stars are currently not in contention for the upcoming Asia Cup. The list includes players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, who managed to keep up with the momentum in the recently concluded Test series against England as well.
Playing for Delhi Capitals, KL Rahul had a stellar IPL 2025. The keeper-batter made 539 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 149.72. However, the veteran batter is currently out of the T20I scheme of things, as there are plenty of other openers to choose from. The likes of Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill are currently the favourites for the opener's slot.

Sai Sudharsan finished as the leading run-scorer of IPL 2025. The youngster made 759 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 156.17. He was consistent throughout the season, scoring one century and six half-centuries. However, like Rahul, the top order is currently filled as there's no vacant position for Sudharsan to fill.

Star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is an asset in the shortest format of the game. He was called up for the T20 World Cup 2024 as well, but wasn't handed any game time. Currently, he is out of India's scheme of things in the shortest format. In IPL, he clinched 16 wickets in 14 matches.

Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal made 559 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 159.71. He finished as the seventh-leading run-scorer of the season. Despite so, Jaiswal is not in India's scheme of things as far as T20I cricket is concerned.
