Team India kicked off their Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 campaign with a dominant win over Pakistan. As they gear up to face Bangladesh on Wednesday, September 24, the players are leaving no stone unturned in their preparations.
In a viral video from a recent practice session, Gautam Gambhir is seen doing sprints on the ground, showcasing his commitment to fitness. According to a report by Rev Sportz, the team India coach completed 10 sprints while the rest of the players were busy with their net session.
The clip quickly drew attention online. One fan took a cheeky dig at former coach Ravi Shastri, calling him the “darubaz ex-coach.” The fan wrote, “Gambhir is better than the ex-coach who used to be a drinker. His sprints show how fit he is even now.”
During his tenure as India’s head coach, Ravi Shastri’s drinking habits were often discussed publicly and on social media. A video that went viral in 2018 showed him sipping a beer while getting off the team bus. This led to frequent trolling, with many suggesting he was drinking during work hours.
### India Eyes Place in Final
Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, is all set to play against Litton Das’ Bangladesh in Match No. 4 of the Asia Cup Super Four today, September 24. A win for the Men in Blue will secure their spot in the final with a match to spare. The final is scheduled against Sri Lanka on Friday, September 26.
India began their Super Four campaign with a convincing 6-wicket win over Pakistan. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is coming off an impressive victory against Sri Lanka and will look to continue their momentum by denying India a second-straight victory.
