After a historic performance by Shubman Gill and his men in England, the focus now has shifted to the Asia Cup 2025, set to commence from September 9.  In the latest events, reports suggest the squad for the upcoming continental cup will be released in the third week of August. Several spots are up for grabs, and the selectors will be having a headache picking the squad. 

The fans can expect a few surprises and shocking decisions as IPL 2025 will also come into play while picking the squad. Meanwhile, this article will look at the IPL players who deserve an India call-up based on IPL 2025 performance.

1. Priyansh Arya

Priyansh Arya was the breakout star in IPL 2025 as the Punjab Kings opener took the league by storm. The southpaw provided the perfect platform for the Kings, which helped the Shreyas-Iyer-led side reach the finals. 

Notably, Arya scored 475 runs in 17 innings, averaging 27.94. Arya's season saw him score 2 fifties and a century against Chennai Super Kings. 

Why Should India Call Up Arya?

Matches Gambhir's Ideology

There is a traffic jam at the top in India's T20I set-up, with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Abhishek Sharma already fighting for the opening slot. However, Arya is quite similar to Abhishek, who scores a quickfire 30s and 40s. 

Further, Arya's game matches the players that Gambhir likes to support. The India coach has always advocated for players who score quickfire 30s and 40s, rather than those who score a 70-ball hundred. 

Top Form

It has only been three months since the conclusion of IPL 2025, and at present, the southpaw is featuring in the Delhi Premier League. Thus, the southpaw is constantly playing T20 cricket and needs no readjustment, whereas the international stars were part of the Test set-up and need to get back to white-ball cricket. 

2. Ashutosh Sharma

While, several players are queued up to take the opening slot, India is struggling to find a lower-middle order batter who can be a big finisher. Ashutosh Sharma is one contender as the Delhi Capitals' batter shone for his franchise and pulled them out of trouble on numerous occasions in IPL 2025. 

Talking about his performance in IPL 2025, Sharma scored 204 runs in nine innings, averaging 29.14 and also batted at a strike rate of 160.63. 

Why Should India Call Up Ashutosh Sharma?

Rinku Singh Struggling

As mentioned, India are struggling for a middle-order batter, and Rinku Singh is also struggling for runs. Talking about KKR stats, Rinki amassed 206 runs in 11 innings in IPL 2025 and amassed just 39 runs in two innings against England. 

A Flexible Floater

Another positive for Ashutosh is that he is a floater and can bat anywhere in the batting order, something a team expects from their finisher. 

3. Yash Dayal

RCB pacer Yash Dayal should also be in the mix, courtesy of his terrific show in IPL 2026. Dayal's heroics led the Challengers to their maiden IPL title with 13 wickets in 15 innings.

Why Should India Bring In Dayal?

Stand-Out Performer In IPL 2025

T20I cricket has reached a stage where the bowlers are getting thrashed left, right, and centre. Amid this, Dayal has managed to make a mark for himself and was one of the standout bowlers in the tournament, which is why he deserves a place in the Indian team. 

Ability to Bowl Difficult Overs

Another great thing about Dayal is that he can bowl anywhere, at the start, in the middle overs and also the difficult overs, which is in the death.
