Asia Cup, 2018: 4 changes India can make against Afghanistan

#1 KL Rahul in place of Shikhar Dhawan

Rahul will want to make the most of this opportunity

Shikhar Dhawan has been in sensational form in the Asia Cup. The left-hander, who did not have the best of the Test series against England, has played some stunning innings at the top of the order. He has scored consistently and is currently the highest run-getter in the tournament.

However, Dhawan has been playing cricket non-stop and needs to be rested at some point of time. With India already in the finals, he might get the much-needed rest in the game against Afghanistan. Dhawan can be replaced by KL Rahul. Rahul has been waiting for his chance for a long time now and will be raring to go. He was dropped from the playing XI in the final game against England in the ODI series and will certainly want to prove a point.
