Asia Cup 2025: Sanju Samson is the team’s weak link

News India Live, Digital Desk: Asia Cup 2025: Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has recently made an important comment on the Indian cricket team’s Asia Cup 2025 team. He has said that Sanju Samson can prove to be the “weak link” of the team. Akhtar believes that veteran batsman KL Rahul should have been included in the team in his place, as his form and pressure to withstand pressure would have been more useful for the team in big tournaments.

This came to light when the squad was announced for the Indian team’s Asia Cup. Akhtar argued that Sanju Samson has not yet shown the continuity in the T20 format, which is expected in the big tournament. At the same time, KL Rahul has a good track record of performing in big matches and he specializes in taking the team out of difficult situations. His presence gives the team a different stability.

Such comments of experienced and vocal cricketers like Shoaib Akhtar often become a topic of discussion in cricket corridors. Now it will be interesting to see how the Indian team management and Sanju Samson themselves live up to these ideas of Akhtar in the Asia Cup.
