Asia Cup 2018: India's 5 most important players in the tournament

#1 Rohit Sharma: (Captain and Opening Batsman)

In the absence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma will have to fill in the big shoes. He is India's biggest match winner in this Asia Cup squad. He has been one of the best ODI players in the world in the last few years. Rohit Sharma needs to score big hundreds, if India has to win this tournament.

His ability to play long innings makes him a big asset. His partnership with Dhawan at the top of the order will be very important. As a captain also, Rohit needs to be at his very best, both on and off the field, in order to bring the best out of his teammates.

Hence Rohit Sharma will obviously be the most important player for India (both as a batsman and as a captain) in this Asia Cup.
