Asia Cup-2023 / Team India is going to take 4 big risks in Asia Cup, May there be no harm

Asia Cup-2023: Asia Cup is going to start from 30th August. India's first match in this tournament is from Pakistan on 2 September. This tournament is very important for teams like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan because from this they will test their ODI World Cup preparations. Team India will try its best to find answers to all its questions in this tournament. But Team India should not face any problem in this tournament. This is because the Indian team is going to take four risks in this tournament.

A few days ago, India has announced its team for the Asia Cup. For this tournament, some players have returned in Team India who were injured for a long time.

what will happen to kl rahul

Rahul suffered a thigh injury in IPL-2023. Due to this injury, he remained out of the team for a long time. He also underwent surgery. He worked on his injury in NCA. But while announcing the team, BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar had said that Rahul has suffered a minor injury. Agarkar had told that Rahul would be fine by September 2-3. This means that his playing in the match against Pakistan is doubtful. There is still doubt about Rahul's fitness and in such a situation his selection and feeding should not be a burden to the team. In such a situation, if Rahul gets hurt more or the injury becomes more serious, then it will be a big loss for India.

Is Jasprit Bumrah ready?

Jasprit Bumrah was also injured for a long time. He was injured in September last year. He had a back injury. For this reason, he could not play in the T20 World Cup last year. After almost a year, Bumrah returned and captained the team on the tour of Ireland. Bumrah was seen in his old colors but this series was T20 series whereas Asia Cup will be played in ODI format. In such a situation, the question is whether Bumrah is fully fit for the ODI format? Is he ready to bowl 10 overs? Lest it happen that Bumrah's body is not ready for ODIs and he does not get injured again. India has suffered the consequences of feeding Bumrah early last year when this fast bowler, returning from injury, was injured again in the Australian series and could not play the T20 World Cup.

Question on Shreyas Iyer as well

Like Rahul and Bumrah, right-handed batsman Shreyas Iyer is also returning from injury. He was injured during the Australia series in March. He was also troubled by a back problem. Regarding Iyer, Agarkar had said that he is completely fit. But the questions about Iyer are the same as those about Bumrah. Is Iyer fit to play 50 overs? Team India is currently participating in the camp in Bengaluru and in this the Yo-Yo test of the players was done but Iyer and Rahul did not give this test. Cricbuzz had told in its report that both of them will give this test later. That's why the question is arising whether Iyer is fully fit?

Trouble with batting order

It is almost certain that Rahul will not play in the first match and this will change the batting order of Team India. Rahul plays the role of wicketkeeper in ODIs as Rishabh Pant is injured at this time. If Rahul does not play, then Ishan Kishan will have to be brought into the team and he will then open with Rohit. Which means there will be a change in Shubman Gill's batting order. Either he will play at number three where Kohli plays and Kohli will play at number-4. Or else Gill will play at number-4 and if this happens then Iyer will play at number-5 i.e. the entire batting order will change. It is a matter of the first match, but the batting order of Team India does not seem to be set even for the rest of the matches and this is a problem for India before the World Cup.
