The UAE collapsed to 57 all out in 13.1 overs and India gunned down a rather small target in just 4.3 overs in their opening Asia Cup 2025 clash.

UAE cricket coach Lalchand Rajput is looking forward to meeting his former pupil and India head coach Gautam Gambhir as they hope to stage an upset in their Asia Cup campaign opener against a side that brims with "match-winners".

Former India cricketer and coach Lalchand Rajput is confident that stalwart batter Virat Kohli will break legendary player Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 centuries in the coming years.

With both teams through to semi-finals, India will face New Zealand on Sunday in the final Group A match, which will determine the top two standings.

Lalchand Rajput watched Virat Kohli score his 51st ODI century in the six-wicket win over Pakistan in Dubai, and he now expects skipper Rohit Sharma to smash his way to a big hundred.

Although it is not known if Gambhir has officially applied for the India coach post, it is being speculated that he may replace Rahul Dravid in the high-pressure position after the T20 World Cup.
