Strongest India Playing XI For Asia Cup 2022
Rohit Sharma (C)
Rohit Sharma is the skipper of India in Asia Cup 2022 and will be the best choice of an opener for the team. The right-handed batsman has shown decent form in T20Is this year, smashing 290 runs in 13 games at an average of 24.16 and strike rate of 140+. He has also hit 1 fifty.
KL Rahul
KL Rahul will be the best option for another opener for the team in Asia Cup 2022. The right-handed batsman has not played a T20I match this year so far. However, he has shown fantastic form in ODIs and Tests. KL Rahul showed outstanding form in IPL 2022, in which he finished as the second-highest run-getter.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli will be a good option at the no.3 spot. The right-handed batsman has struggled to smash runs this year. For instance, Kohli has scored just 81 runs in 4 T20I games this year at an average of 20.25. He slammed a fifty in one game but got out for cheap scores in others. However, Kohli is a star batter for India and he will be a good choice at the one-down position.
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav will be a middle-order batsman for the team in Asia Cup 2022. Yadav thoroughly impressed with his batting show in the previous T20I series against West Indies and England. The right-handed batter has shown magnificent form in T20Is this year, smashing 428 runs in 12 games at an average of 38.90. He also slammed 1 century and 2 fifties this year in T20Is.
Rishabh Pant (WK)
Rishabh Pant will be the best choice of a wicketkeeper for India in Asia Cup 2022. The left-handed batter will be a good batsman in the middle-order. Pant has played 13 T20I games this year and scored 260 runs at an average of 26.0 and strike rate of 135+. He also hit one unbeaten half-century.
Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya should be one of the all-rounders for the team in the playing XI. After making his comeback to the team post IPL 2022, Pandya has proved himself as a powerful all-rounder in the white-ball format. In 13 T20I this year, Pandya has scored 281 runs at a strike rate of 139+ and scalped 8 wickets.
Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik will be a good batsman for the lower order. His ability to smash runs quickly in the death overs makes him a valuable lower-order batsman. After his impressive show in IPL 2022, Karthik managed to make a comeback to the national side. In 15 T20Is this year, the right-handed batsman has slammed 192 runs at a strike rate of 133+.
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja should be another all-rounder for the team in the playing XI in Aisa Cup 2022. Jadeja will also play the crucial role of an extra spinner for the team. The left-handed batsman will be a good lower-order batter as well. In 7 T20I games this year, Jadeja has slammed 166 runs at an average of 55.33 and picked 6 wickets.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal should be another spinner for the team in Asia Cup 2022. The right-arm spinner has shown incredible form this year. In 12 T20I games in 2022, the leg spinner has scalped 15 wickets at an average of 18.13 and an economy of just 7.12. Chahal will be a crucial spinner for the team during the tournament.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvbneshwar Kumar should be one of the pacers for the team during Asia Cup 2022. By winning the player of the series award in the T20I series against England and South Africa, Kumar has proved that he is a top pacer for the team. The right-arm pacer has hunted 20 wickets in 17 T20Is this year at an average of 17.80 and an economy of 6.84.
