Even in IPL, he has scored many races – Mohammad Kaif supports Shubman Gill
India has an opening pair at the opening of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson, which were very impressive together at the top of the order in T20is.

Even if Abhishek and Samson did not have very good outings in the recent IPL, they did enough for Team India in the T20i cricket to ensure that they are part of the XI of play on the resumption of T20I bilateral assignments of India.
However, the names of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill have emerged for the opening role because they are now free from their trial cricket commitments and can return to the T20i cricket.
Many experts have shared their point of view on the possible selection of Gill and Jaiswal for the 2025 Asian Cup, and the last to join the train is Mohammad Kaif Kaif
In a video shared on his official YouTube channel, Mohammad Kaif said that Shubman Gill should be preferable on Yashasvi Jaiswal for the place of rescue opening because of his recent form. He also appointed Jitesh Sharma as a emergency shop at Sanju Samson in the Asian Cup team.
“Regarding Gill and Jaiswal, only one could do it, and I believe that taking into account the way Shubman Gill played as a captain on the tour in England, marking 750 points, he deserves a place. Even in the IPL, he scored a lot of points. So, he might not be the XI, but his name should definitely be on the screen as a rescue worker, “may have played Xi, but his name should definitively be on the screen as a opener,” Mohammad Kaif said.
“Then, if I talk about the opening of the backup, there is a difficult fight between Gill and Jaiswal, but only one can be selected. You also need a backup guard goalkeeper, and I see the name of Jiteh Sharma. It is in incredible form and even led RCB in the end this time. So, for the Asia Cup, Sanju Samon will be the main goalkeeper goalkeeper, while the backup-pudian backup will be jites.
Siraj deserves to be in the team – Mohammad Kaif
Mohammad Kaif also urged the BCCI selection committee to choose Mohammed Siraj for the 2025 Asian Cup after his performance in the heart of the lion in the Anderson-Tendulkar 2025 trophy, where he finished as the main spokesperson. He said:
“I take the name of another player, Mohammed Siraj. Although his name has not been included in the ODI team for the Champions trophy, with Harshit Rana who will take his place, the selectors will have to decide here if we had to go with Harshit Rana or Siraj. “
“However, I believe that, taking into account the way Mohammed Siraj and Shubman Gill played on the tour in England and brought glory in India, Siraj deserves to be on the team for his bowling performance. So, Mohammed Siraj and Shubman Gill are two players that I would like to see a rewarded place in the team,” he added.
