Virat Kohli | Asia Cup 2022

Before this series, The biggest concern of the Indian team was the Virat Kohli’s form. he scored his last century almost 3 years ago. He was struggling in all 3 formats and was seen off color. In the first match against Pakistan he started slow but end that well. The bigger relief was his innings against Hong Kong.

It was 14th Mar 2021, when this guy played his first match and India got this gem for No. 4 position especially in T20I. He was the one who got off the mark in his debut through a SIX over the third man. With a strike rate of 177 he truly is destroyer. He contributed with full calmness even in chasing the big target. He hit 26 runs in the last over against in his last match and helped his team to put an almost impossible to chase score for the team like Hong kong and something similar is expected from him in upcoming match against Pakistan as well.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar | Asia Cup 2022

In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, He is the key and experienced bowler for team. He rely on swinging the ball to unsettle the batsman rather than pace. His 4 overs would definitely be something that everyone wants to be done right. He always keep his calm even if the things are not going as per his way. Rohit Sharma would be expecting him not only to restrict the batsman in power-plays but also in slog overs, his excellence and performance would be an elixir to the men in blue.
With these experience lads in the team and their on going performance, every Indian would love to see the team win and face the Sri Lanka into the finals.
