Asia Cup 2018: India's Ideal XI for Pakistan Encounter

BOWLERS

The spin department will be handled by the wrist-spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav. Both were quite successful in South Africa and will play a major role for India in upcoming Asia Cup at UAE where wickets mostly remain on bit slower side.

With experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar back into the side, means he will head the pace battery, along Jasprit Bumrah. How these two will bowl in the tournament, will decide on India's stand in the tourney particularly against arch-rivals, Pakistan.

So, the playing eleven sums as under:

Rohit Sharma (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Kl Rahul, Manish Pandey, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (WK), Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadaw, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah
