India's probable 15-member squad and starting XI for Asia Cup

Previews - ICC Champions Trophy Final

Middle-Order: Virat Kohli (C) and Ambati Rayadu

ICC World Twenty20 India 2016:  India v Australia

No questions asked Virat Kohli has to be the first name on the team sheet when it comes to predicting XI irrespective of the formats. Not only because he is the captain of the Indian team but also due to his reputation that he carries along with himself. He will be India's central figure (well, he always is) in the Asia Cup.

Ambati Rayadu lit up the IPL with his excellent performances for Chennai Super Kings. Owing to his extraordinary display in IPL, Rayadu made his way back to the T20I squad for the series against Ireland and England. However, after having failed the Yo-Yo test, Rayadu was omitted from the squad. Nevertheless, Rayadu is expected to make a comeback to the ODI squad for the Asia Cup. Ambati's addition to the XI could help India in solving the middle-order conundrum. Thus, safe to say, Rayadu deserves a place in the starting XI for Asia Cup.
