India has been hit with a setback just before their much-awaited Asia Cup 2025 Super Four clash against Pakistan. All-rounder Axar Patel is facing fitness issues after suffering a head injury.
The incident happened during India’s Group A match against Oman when Patel tried to catch a shot from Hammad Mirza. While running in to complete the catch, he lost his balance and fell, hitting his head on the ground. Medical staff immediately attended to him, but the injury has now created doubts about whether he will be fit in time for the big game.
This uncertainty is a major concern for the Indian team management. Patel is known for his ability to contribute with both bat and ball, making him a valuable player in the squad. His absence could affect the overall balance of the team, especially in such a high-pressure contest against their arch-rivals.
The India–Pakistan encounter is always one of the most watched matches in world cricket, and every player’s role becomes crucial. Without Patel, India may need to rethink their strategy and playing combination for this important stage of the tournament.
