The Asia Cup 2023 has started and both co-hosts, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have notched up comfortable wins over Nepal and Bangladesh, respectively.
Now, the only other Asian giant missing in action is India, who will begin their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on Saturday. However, ahead of the high-voltage clash, Indian players were engaged in a fun photoshoot session on Thursday.
In a video put out by BCCI, India's most potent pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj would be seen hugging each other as Mohammed Shami looked on. Siraj's rise in ODI cricket has been phenomenal, with Bumrah being away from the field due to injury.
The trio of Bumrah, Siraj and Shami is expected to give opposition batters nightmares, given all three pacers are known to bowl attacking lines.

In the video, players like Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, and Hardik Pandya could be seen playing golf with a cricket bat, trying to putt a soft ball between the legs of an assigned cricketer.
Other players like Sanju Samson, Akshar Patel, and Shardul Thakur could be seen having fun while watching their animated selves dancing.
The Rohit Sharma-led side will take on Pakistan at Pallekele on September 2 in their Group A encounter. With one win already under their belt, the Babar Azam-led XI will look to maintain their momentum and finish the group as toppers heading into the Super Fours stage.
