5 issues India need to resolve at the Asia Cup 

#2 The Finisher

Australia 'A' v India 'A' - Quadrangular Series Final

For years, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been India's designated finisher. For the last decade, the team has barely had to worry about the job of a finisher. In his prime, Dhoni has been arguably the greatest finisher the game has ever seen. However, those days are slowly going past us. India is now in the need to find a new finisher to play at the number six position.

Looking at the squad picked for the Asia Cup, India's options are between Kedar Jadhav and Dinesh Karthik. While in the 50 over format, India is yet to use Karthik at number six, it is high time they do.

In the Nidhas trophy in March and the Indian Premier League, he depicted his transformation into a highly efficient finisher. For the Kolkata Knight Riders, Karthik scored 498 runs at a sensational strike of 147.7.

On the other hand, Jadhav has impressed for India with an average of 39.90 in 40 matches at a strike rate of 109. However, it's the awkward off-spin that gives him an advantage. He has shown to have the knack of taking wickets at crucial stages.

Who India chose between Karthik and Jadhav remains to be seen. While Karthik is clearly the better batsman and fielder but India might prefer to have the extra bowling option Jadhav offers.
