Asia Cup 2022: 3 Players In India Squad For Asia Cup 2022 Who Can Crush India’s Hopes In The Tournament

3. Avesh Khan

Avesh Khan is the first player on this list. It is not wrong to say that absence of pacers like Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel due to injuries led the way for Avesh’s selection in the Indian squad for Asia Cup 2022. Although the right-arm pacer has played a few T20I games for India, his performance hasn’t been too impressive.

For instance, Khan picked 3 wickets in 4 games in the recent T20I series against West Indies. His economy rate was also very expensive at 10.14. In the prior T20I series against South Africa, Khan remained wicketless in the first three games before grabbing a 4-wicket haul in the 4th T20I. In 13 T20Is so far, he has picked 11 wickets at an average of 31.81.

2. Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin is another player on this list. Ashwin has been picked as one of the spinners for India in Asia Cup 2022. Although Ashwin is a quite powerful spinner for India in Tests, the same is not true for T20Is. The right-arm spinner only makes a few appearances in T20I formats.

In 2022, Ravichandran Ashwin was part of only 3 T20I games despite India playing many T20I series. He picked 3 wickets at an average of 26.66 and an economy of 6.66. Hence, Ashwin might be a liability for India in the spin department during the tournament.

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is another player on this list. Although Kohli has been picked for Asia Cup 2022, his poor form in recent times is an issue for the team. This year, Kohli has played 4 T20I games. He scored 81 runs in 4 games at an average of just 20.25.

He slammed a fifty in one game but got out for cheap scores in the other three games. He also battled to come up with good knocks in ODIs. Kohli takes the no.3 spot in the batting and it is a very crucial batting position for any team. Hence, Kohli’s poor show in the Asia Cup 2022 can hamper India’s performance in the tournament.
