India vs Pakistan: 3 Indian Players Who Can Get Into A Fight With Pakistan Players

3) Rohit Sharma

The Indian skipper maintains a calm demeanour while he is on the playing field. However, he is a team player and can get into an argument or a fight for the sake of his team. Personally, Rohit has had a good record against Pakistan in international cricket. His only blip was in the T20 World Cup game last year. He will be keen on setting the record right.

2) Hardik Pandya

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya looks like another cricketer who can get into a fight against the Pakistani players. He has just played a handful of games against Pakistan but can get the job done if needed. Pandya has added the skill of captaincy to his game and has returned as a fitter and a better cricket into the side.

1) Virat Kohli

The name that tops this list is Virat Kohli. Kohli is a naturally aggressive player. He is also very instinctive when it comes to standing up for his players and teammates. Kohli is a team man in every sense of the word and will be ahead in the fight in case his team needs to. The former Indian skipper has been laid low by a wretched run of form. Indian cricket fans and experts are hoping he will get back into form this Asia Cup.
