Asia Cup 2021: India’s Predicted Second String Playing XI

Bowlers

With a lot of talent in this department to disperse, the 4 bowling options that India will likely go with are – Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Deepak Chahar/ Shardul Thakur and T Natrajan. If India goes with only one all-rounder, then all the 4 bowlers mentioned will be playing at the same time otherwise one out of them will have to make way for the other all-rounder.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be seen leading the fast bowling attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal will be India’s front line spinner once again.

THE FINAL PLAYING XI:

KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Manish Pandey, Ishan Kishan/ Sanju Samson, Axar Patel/ Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar/ Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, T Natarajan
