This could be India’s best playing XI in the Asia Cup
The injury of only 2 players has increased the concern of Team India

New Delhi. Asia Cup 2023 is starting from August 30. The Indian squad for the upcoming tournament is yet to be announced, but is expected to be announced early next week. Cricket experts believe that the Blue team is looking at this tournament as a practice for the World Cup. In such a situation only those players who will participate in the World Cup can be selected in the team for the Asia Cup. Now let’s talk about what could be the best playing eleven of the Indian team for the Asia Cup, then it goes something like this-

Rohit and Gill can open the innings:

The prestigious tournament could once again see the duo of Rohit Sharma and Shubman opening the innings. Where Rohit Sharma is running in tremendous rhythm. Gill’s performance has dipped a bit, but everyone is well aware of the young batsman’s talent. Gill has the skills to single-handedly win matches on his day. He has shown this in the last few matches as well.

The middle order will be dominated by these batsmen:

The middle order will be mainly dominated by Virat Kohli. On the other hand, if Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are fit before the Asia Cup, they are sure to play at the fourth and fifth position respectively. God forbid, if these players are not fit, the veterans feel that Sanju Samson should be replaced by Tilak Verma.

Pandya and Jadeja’s strong claims as all-rounders:

Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja’s inclusion in the Asia Cup is almost completely confirmed. Because, both these batsmen are adept at changing the course of the match with bat and ball. Apart from this, he has no answer in fielding either.

The bowling order may be as follows:

The pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Mohammad Siraj also looks confirmed. At the same time, Kuldeep Yadav seems to be in a very good rhythm. In such a situation, his place in the playing eleven is also visible.

India’s Probable Playing XI for Asia Cup:

Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer/Tilak Verma, KL Rahul/Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav.
