Over the past few years, this Indian team has at times looked dependent on Kohli for runs. It is similar to how Indian teams of the past used to depend on Sachin Tendulkar, and like Sachin, Kohli has delivered more often than not.

But now with him rested for the Asia Cup, the team will have to find ways to put big scores on the board. There is enough talent in the squad, but with both Dhawan and Rahul out of form, the Indian fans must be worried. It will be interesting to see how the Indian team does without their talisman.
