Pakistan’s strength is India’s weakness, the champions are also out, how will they win the Asia Cup?

New Delhi. The Asia Cup is just days away and every team is busy finalizing their preparations. The Pakistan team is playing the ODI series against Afghanistan in Sri Lanka in view of the Asia Cup and has won the first two ODI series. A day earlier, Pakistan defeated Afghanistan by one wicket with 1 ball to spare in a thrilling match. Fast bowler Naseem Shah was the hero of Pakistan’s victory in this match. Naseem scored 10 runs in 5 balls to win the team. This is not the first time, when Naseem turned the game around in the last over to give Pakistan a win. Earlier, in Asia Cup 2021, he played such an innings against Afghanistan and won Pakistan.

This is Pakistan’s biggest strength, they have bowlers who can bat when needed and are also adept at hitting big shots. Shaheen Afridi has also performed spectacularly with the bat on many occasions. But Pakistan’s strength is currently Team India’s biggest weakness. For this reason, despite being a match-winning bowler, Yuzvendra Chahal did not get a place in the Asia Cup squad. Captain Rohit Sharma himself said the same thing that we need bowlers who can score runs in the lower order and that is the reason why Chahal was dropped from the team and managed to get players like Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur in the Asia Cup squad. a place Because these two can also bat apart from bowling.

The win was due to Shardul-Akshar’s batting
Shardul Thakur has scored 315 runs in 38 ODIs at a strike rate of over 100. He has also scored a half century. He has also taken 58 wickets in ODIs. Shardul can bat in the lower order. Akshar Patel also has this ability. He has also scored 2 half-centuries in ODIs. Has also hit 21 sixes and 18 fours. According to the conditions, one of these two will be seen batting at number-8 in the Asia Cup.

Pakistan is the king of the last over in Asia, master of turning matches, defeated 6 teams

Virat Kohli messed up! Will BCCI take action? One condition of the agreement caused trouble

Rohit-Virat and Tilak are also bowling in the nets
If we look at India’s 4 first choice bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, famous Krishna and Mohammad Siraj, none of them batted well. He does not have the ability to hit sixes like Pakistan’s tail batsmen. Due to this many times the top order batsmen cannot play openly. This could prove to be a major headache for Team India during the Asia Cup and then the World Cup as well. For this reason, besides Tilak Verma, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are practicing bowling in the nets these days. So that batting depth can be increased by reducing one bowler.

This will be a litmus test for Team India during the Asia Cup. This weakness has to be overcome if India is to become champions.
