#1 Asia Cup 2018
A mouth-watering clash against Pakistan is ready for the Indian team, but Virat Kohli won't be a participant - deciding to skip the Asia Cup 2018 after a gruelling England tour. The Indian side lost the series 4-1, and even though Kohli had a great summer with the bat, he seemed to need time away from the game.

It was in the 2012 edition of the same tournament that Kohli had registered his highest score in ODIs, a 183 against Pakistan.
Kapil Dev had spoken out about Kohli's exclusion to Gulf News, stating that a whole team should not depend on one player.
“I feel no team should depend on one player. Sometimes the best player will not be there and the team should show the will to manage and win. Playing as a team is very important."
