#1 Babar Azam (Pakistan)
As Virat Kohli is rested for the Asia Cup, Babar Azam becomes the highest rated ODI batsman to play in the tournament, and rightly so, as he looks to improve on his mind boggling average of 54.81 in ODIs.

The Pakistan team has been on a roller coaster for the last one year after successful performances against Australia, Zimbabwe and New Zealand, where they proved out to be totally destructive for the opposition. Babar Azam and his brilliant batting partnership with fellow Pakistani Fakhar Zaman have been terrorizing oppositions for quite some time now.
Babar Azam is ranked by ICC as the 2nd best ODI bastman in the world currently, and that makes him our first choice in the list of Asia Cup 2018 players to watch out for.
Azam plays his first Asia cup game today, 16th of September in Dubai, against Hong Kong.
