Players to watch in the upcoming Asia Cup 2022
Arshdeep Singh
Young Indian left-arm fast bowler recently got awarded Man-of-the-Series in a T20I series against Windies which is one of the key reasons for considering him in the 15-member squad.
Filling Jasprit Bumrah’s shoes will not be easy but Arshdeep is no less. It will be a big opportunity for the youngster to showcase his skills in high-pressure games too as India will be facing their arch-rival Pakistan in their first match of the Asia cup on Aug 28, 2022.
Deepak Hooda
Right-handed batter has done nothing wrong in the past few weeks whenever he got the opportunity to play. Hooda got selected ahead of Shreyas Iyer not only because of his hard-hitting performances but also for his off-spin skills too.
Let’s see how these two youngsters handle the pressure in high-voltage games.
