Asia Cup 2022: Players to Watch out for in India vs Pakistan match

Asia Cup 2022: The India-Pakistan match of the Asia Cup is supposedly going to be played on the 28th of August. The massive amount of anticipations and expectations have already begun to come in from the fans of both nations on various social media platforms. The rivalry between India and Pakistan is nothing new since it's been taking place for several years in the past. Both these teams have contested on the cricket pitch for uncountable times before this and have provided Cricket lovers with some moments to cherish in this process. 

It's just the unexplainable agony and suspense that takes place in a match between these two sides which makes this rivalry better than any other on the planet. It's time for us to take a quick look at the top 3 players to watch out for in the upcoming Asia Cup match between these two arch rivals:-

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma who's been appointed the full captain of the Indian side shortly before will be leading India in a tournament as big as the Asia Cup 2022 for the first time. The hopes will be high from India's new captain and opening batsman to deliver on the big stage against an opponent as tough as Pakistan. Rohit's form with the bat has blown hot and cold this year so far in the T20Is.

After having a forgettable IPL, Rohit failed to find his nick in the 20-over series vs England too wherein he failed to convert each of those starts to big scores. The 35-year-old will be keen to make a mark with the bat in the big match against Pakistan and thereby help his team get over the line. 

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been the topic of conversation for quite some time now. His failure of getting to three figures quite several times now has drawn several criticisms towards time recently. In spite of all the tough times, a batsman of Virat's calibre can never be written off under any circumstances. The right-hander played a gritty knock of 57 when India faced Pakistan in the World cup last year.

Kohli recently seems to be out of form after coming off from a poor IPL which was followed by an average performance against England in the recent T20I series. The fans will hope to see a strong comeback from Kohli in India's big clash against Pakistan. 

Babar Azam

Babar Azam with his performance has proved his ability to rock the opposition single-handedly with his recent bit of incredible performances in white ball cricket. The Pakistan skipper has been in stellar form with the bat in the shorter formats recently.

The right-hander has always looked in fine rhythm so far this year whenever he's come out to bat. Babar has smashed a sublime 66 against Australia in a one-off t20I match against Australia which is Pakistan's only T20I match this year until now.

Considering the amazing form that Babar is in at the moment, his fantastic rhythm might come in handy to Pakistan when they face India in the big match next month. He will definitely be one of the top performers in Asia Cup 2022.
