3 reasons why India are unlikely to win Asia Cup 2018

#1 No Virat Kohli

It is a huge loss for the Indian team as their skipper will miss out on the Asia Cup. India might not miss his services as a captain but definitely as the best batsmen in their ranks. He has been the flag-bearer for the team in the past decade with other batters playing around him to plan India's strategy as a batting unit.

Virat Kohli embraces challenges and always possesses the hunger to turn games around solely based on his skills. However, when he is not available for the tournament, it will be a huge boost for the opposition as India will now rely more on their under-performing middle order. The likes of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, who is certain to take Kohli's spot, will be required to shoulder extra responsibility to fill in the void left by Kohli's absence.
