Asia Cup 2022: India’s probable XI against Pakistan

India has unveiled their lineup for the Asia Cup 2022, and while the fans are thrilled to see some legendary players return, they may be sceptical of India’s bowling unit without Jasprit Bumrah.

Rohit Sharma will be leading the side without any doubt, and KL Rahul will be his deputy. Virat Kohli has been named back in the squad after a long time while Shreyas Iyer will be going as a standby player. Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Ravinrta Jadeja and Rishabh Pant will be the middle-order choices while Suryakumar Yadav will assist the other 3 senior members – Rohit, Kohli, KL, in their top-order survival.

The fans will be eager to see the starting lineup for team India’s opening game, which is against their longtime rivals Pakistan.

If the team stays healthy and intact, Rohit Sharma will lead and open for team India, followed by VC KL Rahul, who will be in charge of supporting the top order. To start the innings, India can use Suryakumar Yadav, who has been practicing well, and Rohit and Sky, with Virat Kohli serving as the reliable first-down batter. After Virat, KL might be the next batter, followed by the middle order of Hardik, Rishabh, Dinesh Karthik, and Ravindra Jadeja. Arshdeep Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar may be in charge of managing the bowling.
