5 Indian players who need to make an impact at the Asia Cup

England v India - 3rd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
Shikhar Dhawan

#3 Ambati Rayudu

England v India: Carlton Mid ODI Tri Series - Game 6
Ambati Rayudu

Rayudu missed the flight to England after failing the yo-yo test but he cleared it quickly and is back in the reckoning again. He is an excellent striker of the ball and is in pretty good touch too. Rayudu should provide the answer to India's problems in the middle order. He can rotate the strike well and though diminutive in size, can hit the ball a long way.

The Hyderabad captain needs to grab this opportunity with both hands and book a place in the World Cup squad.

#4 Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik had a forgettable tour of England and will like to get back in touch with some performances in the Asia Cup. He is a fantastic white-ball cricketer as he showed in the Nidahas Trophy final against Bangladesh.

He can bat low down the order and go with all guns blazing when needed. Karthik can also provide sanity and solidity to the batting order when needed. He will not be on wicketkeeping duty, though, with veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni set to don the role.
