#1 Weakness against quality spin and left arm fast bowling

South Africa v India - Third One Day International
Indian batting line-up is susceptible to left-arm pace bowling

There is no denying that the Indian batsmen have been susceptible to spin bowling both in the red-ball as well as white-ball cricket whereas India's weakness against quality left-arm fast bowling is no secret.

The teams participating in the Asia Cup have got a perfectly balanced combination to exploit India's weaknesses. The likes of Rashid Khan, Shakib Al Hasan, Akila Dananjaya and Mujeeb ur Rahman will be bowling to Indian batsmen in the tournament whereas Pakistan has got a battery of left-arm pacers keeping in mind the India game.

If the Indians don't find answers, soon they will get themselves in deep trouble. Indian batsmen need to keep aside their complacency while facing the spinners and not look to play ambitious shots when they are not required.
