Rajesh Kaul, Chief Revenue Officer – Distribution & International Business and Head – Sports Business, Sony Pictures Networks India:
“As the Asia Cup returns, Sony Sports Network reimagines cricket broadcasting and connects every fan to the pulse of the nation’s greatest sport. Our campaign #RagRagMeinBharat, is an extension of our vision to make world-class cricket truly accessible to our audiences across the remotest villages to the busiest metros in India. The prestigious Asia Cup represents not just a battle for supremacy, but a fusion of history, culture, and aspiration.”
Sunil Gavaskar, Indian cricket Legend and former Team India captain:
“As Team India steps onto the Asia Cup stage under the dynamic leadership of Surya Kumar Yadav, we witness a blend of tenacity and experience steering the side. Surya’s ability to inspire through his innovative batting and captaincy complements the other members of the team. This squad symbolises the future of Indian cricket, diverse, versatile and combative. The Asia cup offers them a platform not just to defend India’s supremacy but to lay the foundation for a new era of Indian dominance in T20 cricket.”
Ravi Shastri, Indian cricket Legend and former Team India batter:
“With Surya Kumar Yadav leading from the front and Shubman Gill mastering the art of youthful leadership as vice-captain, this Indian squad exemplifies the perfect mix of experience and potential. Players like Jasprit Bumrah, Abhishek Sharma, and Hardik Pandya bring international class, while talents like Tilak Varma and Harshit Rana add spark and depth. The Asia Cup 2025 will be the crucible where their mettle is tested, and I believe this team, under Surya’s calm and aggressive captaincy, will rise to the occasion and set new benchmarks for Indian cricket.”
