Team India will play all their matches in Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. India's first match will be played against Pakistan on 02 September. After this, Team India will compete against Nepal on 04 September. After both these matches, if Team India finishes in the top 2, then they will qualify for the Super 4 round. Although Team India's qualifying for Super 4 is considered almost certain. Let's take a look at three Indian players on whom all eyes will be on before the start of the Asia Cup.All eyes will be on these three playersVirat KohliTeam India's star batsman Virat Kohli is fully prepared for the Asia Cup. He scored 17.2 in the recently conducted yo yo test. At the same time, Virat is also seen in good form with the bat. In such a situation, these are good signs for Team India and Indian fans before the Asia Cup. If we take a look at Virat Kohli's record in Asia Cup, he has played a total of 11 matches in the ODI Asia Cup played so far. Where he has scored 613 runs at an average of 61.30. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli made his highest score of 183 runs only during the Asia Cup 2012. In such a situation, he will have a lot of responsibility in the Asia Cup.Rohit SharmaRohit Sharma has been slowly returning to his old colors for some time now. Although he is not yet in full form, but the fans will hope that Rohit returns to his old rhythm as soon as possible. Recently, Rohit Sharma had performed brilliantly in Test cricket against the West Indies. At the same time, he could not get a chance in ODIs. Rohit would like to achieve his rhythm in the match played against Pakistan in this Asia Cup. If we take a look at Rohit Sharma's figures in the ODI Asia Cup, he has scored 745 runs in 22 matches at an average of 46.56. During this, he has one century and 6 half-centuries in his name.Jasprit bumrahAll eyes will also be on Indian team's fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Jasprit Bumrah, who is returning to Team India after a long injury break, recently performed brilliantly during the T20 series played against Ireland. He also won the player of the match award in that series. Team India's pace unit has become even stronger with the return of Bumrah. In such a situation, the responsibilities will also be big on them. If we look at Bumrah's ODI figures in the Asia Cup, he has participated in only one season. In the 2018 Asia Cup, he took 8 wickets in 4 matches at an average of 16 and an economy of 3.67.In such a situation, Team India will have the biggest responsibilities on these three players in the Asia Cup.
