Best Asian ODI XI

Seamers

1) Jasprit Bumrah

Currently ranked 1 in the ODI bowlers list, the Indian pacer is known for his yorkers. He is an excellent upfront bowler and a death over specialist. He poses a lot of variations in his armory. He has 62 wickets to his name at an average of 22.50.

2) Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The Indian seamer is a swing bowler with the ability to swing the ball both ways. Earlier he used to ball only upfront but with time he has developed his death bowling skills and now is an excellent death over bowler too. He has an economy of 5 which is impressive for a bowler who bowls in the power-play and death.

3) Mohammad Amir

The Pakistani left-arm seamer, who consistently bowls around 150kmph. He is an excellent swing bowler and creates trouble for the hind handers with his incoming in-swingers. He got Kohli out twice in 2 successive deliveries in the champions trophy final, the first delivery being a dropped catch. He has taken 58 wickets from 46 matches at an average of less than 30.

4) Hasan Ali

The Pakistani seamer is currently ranked 3 in the ODI bowlers list. He was the highest wicket-taker in the champions trophy last year. He has 68 wickets in just 33 matches at an average of less than 21 and a strike rate of 24.0. In a small career, he already has taken 3 five-wicket hauls.

4) Mustafizur Rahman

The new Bangladeshi sensation Mustafizur made his name in the first match itself when he took a five-wicket haul against India. His off cutters are his wicket-taking deliveries. He has taken 56 wickets at an average of just over 20 and a strike rate of 25.4. He also has 3 five-wicket hauls to his name, two of which came against India in the first series itself.

The three seamers which will make it to this side are Jasprit Bumrah, Hasan Ali and Mohammad Amir. Although Mustafizur has better stats than Amir, off late he has not been as effective as he was in his early days.

So my final current Asian XI is Rohit Sharma, Fakhar Zaman, Virat Kohli (C), Babar Azam, MS Dhoni, Shakib Al Hasan, Hardik Pandya/Shoaib Malik, Rashid Khan, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Amir and Jasprit Bumrah.
