Asia Cup 2018: 4 Key players for India in the clash against Bangladesh

#3 Ambati Rayudu

The Indian middle order should play around Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu is an ideal player on the low and slow pitches on offer in UAE. He has the ability to grind through early on in the innings which is required in plenty on these sort of pitches.

In case a wicket falls early then Rayudu's role becomes even more important, he can act as a wall against experienced Bangladesh bowling line-up and the fragile Indian middle order.

#4 Shikhar Dhawan

Dhawan would like to continue his good run in the tournament

Shikhar Dhawan is an important cog in the wheel for India, more so in Kohli's absence. He has been in good form in the tournament. His ability to score at a decent clip without taking much risk will come in handy in these conditions.

Dhawan is the only left-hander in the Indian top order, his long stay at the crease will increase the difficulty for opposition bowlers as they will have to adjust their line and length continuously.
