Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has emphasized the importance of avoiding complacency for the Indian cricket team in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025.
Uthappa believes that while India boasts a strong squad under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, they must respect every opponent, especially given the challenging conditions expected in the UAE.
He warned against the team becoming complacent due to the perceived difference in quality between themselves and some of the other teams in the tournament, highlighting the potential for upsets if they relax.
Uthappa specifically mentioned Afghanistan as a team that could pose a threat to India due to their strong bowling attack, urging the Indian team to maintain a healthy and unified atmosphere in the dressing room.
“I think complacency is a danger, so I’d make sure they take every game respectfully. The quality of players is so good that sometimes you can take your foot off the pedal, thinking, ‘Listen, we’ll dominate, so you can relax.’ That is something they need to look out for”
