5 Indian players expected to shine in Asia Cup 2018

#3 KL Rahul

England v India - KL Rahul on strike

The 26-year-old right-handed batsman had a brilliant form in the IPL 2018. He started the English tour with a bang as he struck a not out 101 in the first T20 match. However, the batsman has failed to impress ever since that match.

The English pitches are hard to bat on, this might be another factor for him losing his spectacular form.

But, a new day, a new start is what he needs to highlight his name on the scoring charts. KL Rahul is one of the top batting prospects in the coming future and it is highly expected that the batsman would be a vital player for Indian batting side.

#2 Shikhar Dhawan

England v India - 3rd ODI: Shikhar Dhawan on strike

The 'man of the match' award winner in the final of last Asia Cup edition in 2016, Shikhar Dhawan has been in a tremendous form since the IPL 2018. However, he suffered a hand injury in the IPL.

However, soon after the IPL, India faced Afghanistan and Ireland where Shikhar Dhawan played back to back innings of 107 and 74 runs respectively.

The left-handed opener wasn't able to perform well in the T20 series against England. However, he has been in a fine run since then. The 'Gabru' hasn't been in the best of forms in England but we can't say that he failed.

Dhawan looks set to roar in the upcoming Asia Cup.
