The Indian team has just concluded a gruelling five-match Test series against England. The next assignment for the team would be the Asia Cup 2025, which will provide a preparatory ground for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026.
India is yet to announce their squad for the tournament. However, in this article, we take a look at the probable India squad for the Asia Cup 2025 and the total cost of it as per the IPL price of the players.
Gujarat Titans (5 Players - ₹49.95 Crore)
As per our prediction, there might be five players in India's Asia Cup 2025 from the Gujarat Titans.
- Shubman Gill: ₹16.50 crore
- Mohammed Siraj: ₹12.25 crore
- Prasidh Krishna: ₹9.50 crore
- Sai Sudharsan: ₹8.50 crore
- Washington Sundar: ₹3.20 crore
Rajasthan Royals (3 Players - ₹50 Crore)
India's Asia Cup Squad might include three players from the Rajasthan Royals' IPL 2025 squad.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal: ₹18 crore
- Sanju Samson: ₹18 crore
- Dhruv Jurel: ₹14 crore
Punjab Kings (2 Players - ₹44.75 Crore)
The two players from the PBKS IPL 2025 squad, who are expected to be included, are both very crucial to India's plans. Notably, this includes Shreyas Iyer, who was the second-highest-paid player in the 2025 edition of the tournament.
- Shreyas Iyer: ₹26.75 crore
- Arshdeep Singh: ₹18 crore
Mumbai Indians (2 Players - ₹32.70 Crore)
The Indian T20I skipper was one of the retained players by MI for IPL 2025. Along with Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya is also expected to be one of the must-picks for the tournament.
- Suryakumar Yadav: ₹16.35 crore
- Hardik Pandya: ₹16.35 crore
Delhi Capitals (2 Players - ₹29.75 Crore)
The Delhi Capitals are expected to contribute with a key spin-bowling all-rounder and the lead-spinner for the tournament. Notably, Axar Patel, the skipper of DC for IPL 2025, will surely be a part of the squad, given his utility as a T20 all-rounder.
- Axar Patel: ₹16.50 crore
- Kuldeep Yadav: ₹13.25 crore
Kolkata Knight Riders (3 Players - ₹29 Crore)
Rinku Singh will be going as a designated finisher for India from the KKR squad. Besides Rinku, Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana are also expected to be in the squad.

- Varun Chakravarthy: ₹12 crore
- Harshit Rana: ₹4 crore
Sunrisers Hyderabad (1 Player - ₹14 Crore)
One of SRH's biggest strengths, Abhishek Sharma, will be providing the firepower to the Indian team in the tournament.
- Abhishek Sharma: ₹14 crore
