#1 Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma would enter the tournament with heavy expectations and even heavier burden of being the captain of the team in the absence of the regular captain, Virat Kohli.
The Indian 'Hitman' has been enjoying a fine form lately in the One Day Internationals. The Indian opener struck two back to back centuries in England out of which one came in a T-20 fixture and the other came in the opening match of the ODI series in Manchester.
However, the next two matches didn't go his way as he scored a combined 17 runs in the next two fixtures.
Following the absence of Virat Kohli, there will be a huge burden on the shoulders of Indian openers to provide a fine start to the team and Rohit Sharma-Shikhar Dhawan is the perfect duo for the job. The Indian captain for the Asia Cup 2018 is expected to outperform everyone in the tournament.
