Indian team: Asia Cup winners 2018
The race to be the best within Asia will begin on the 27th of August. India has already announced their squad for Asia Cup 2022.
Let us first have a look at Team India’s squad.
India’s Squad for Asia Cup:
Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan
So, do the defending champions have what it takes to bring the cup back home?
Strengths
1. Strong Batting Core: The Indian team that will board the flight to UAE for the Asia Cup has some of the world’s best players in the shortest format of the game. A peek into their overall T20I will give us a clear idea.
2. Presence of utility players: There is the presence of some brilliant all-rounders in the squad. The Indian team will have the flexibility to use multiple players in different roles according to the demand of the situation.
This gives us an idea that the Indian all-rounders are more than adequate in both the trades of the game.
3. Presence of a great crop of spinners: The trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravichandran Ashwin is both experienced and dynamic at the same time. The presence of young Ravi Bishnoi only adds to the variety.
