Asia Cup 2018: How India will line up in the tournament

Wicket-Keeper: MS Dhoni

Dhoni might be used as a floater in Asia Cup

Mahi will return after an uninspiring couple of innings in England. A lot was expected from the veteran following his stellar run for the Chennai Super Kings this year. With 10,000 ODI runs under his belt, Dhoni knows what is best for him and the team. The management will expect the wicket-keeper to hit some much-needed form ahead of the World Cup next year.

All-Rounder: Hardik Pandya

Pandya will act as the third seamer for India

2018 has been a reserved year for the big-hitting all-rounder so far as he doesn't have anything particular to boast about in the white-ball format. His outing in the Tests in England lacked the assurance one would expect from an all-rounder. Anyway, Pandya might feature as a valuable and essential third seamer for India in UAE.
