Asia Cup winning players like spinner Kuldeep Yadav, all-rounder Axar Patel, ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah and Test captain Shubman Gill will be joining the Indian team in Ahmedabad. The Indian coaching staff, led by head coach Gautam Gambhir will also be joining the squad in the Gujarat city.
As per reports, the Indian team is staying in ITC Narmada, and the hotel is planning a welcome surprise for the incoming Asia Cup 2025 winning players.
