The Asia Cup 2025, hosted by India and currently underway in the UAE, has already produced plenty of excitement with each team having played at least one match. Despite the slower pitches resulting in relatively modest totals and several one-sided games, a few batters have stood out with their elegance and stroke-making ability. Here, we rank five batters whose strokeplay has lit up the tournament so far.

Afghanistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz might not have big runs to his name yet, but his stylish strokeplay remains a treat to watch. He managed only eight runs in the Asia Cup opener against Hong Kong, continuing a lean patch of scores, but his presence at the crease always unsettles bowlers. With over 1,500 T20I runs, Gurbaz is known for his right-handed elegance, and fans will be hoping he delivers a match-defining innings in the games to come.
