Asia Cup 2018: India-Pakistan combined playing XI

Enter ca
How
many times will these two teams battle it out?

8. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar

South Africa v India - T20 International
Bhuvi has looked threatening ever since he came out of the injury lay-off.

Excellent with the new ball, excellent at the death and brilliant in the field, Bhuvi possesses all the qualities required to cement his place in this team.

His knuckleballs and the yorkers towards the end is something that the opposition might want to watch out for. He swings the new ball both ways and has the ability to reverse swing the ball late in the innings.

Bhuvi can bat too which makes him an even more dangerous player. He is a live wire in the field and is a valuable asset to any team.

9. Mohammad Amir

New Zealand v Pakistan - 3rd ODI
He will be eager to get his grip on the Indian Batsmen.

The left-arm quick from Pakistan is known to bowl those toe-crushing yorkers with the new ball early on in the innings. He can bowl at an excess of 145 kph and can swing the ball both ways.

He is a dominant pace bowler and is a threat to any batsman. Considering India's weakness against left-arm quicks, Amir is sure to have a good game. Amir is a very good bowler at the death too and can mix up his speeds well.

Amir the batsman, can also score some quick runs and can prove to be a thorn in the flesh.

10. Jasprit Bumrah

India v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy Final
A player to watch out for.

His unorthodox action and he fiery pace are what makes him dangerous. Bumrah has the ability to execute his yorkers to perfection and he's the best at it. With the new ball, Bumrah hits the deck hard and shapes the ball away from left-handers. He's very consistent with his line and length. This makes him even more threatening.

11. Kuldeep Yadav

England v India - 3rd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
England v India - 3rd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series

The Chinaman from India has taken some large strides in international cricket. In white ball cricket, he has become a force to reckon with. Difficult to read, Kuldeep possesses the ability to outfox both, left-handers and the right-handers.

The slow tracks in the UAE are bound to assist him. His pace and release points in his action make sure that he gets the maximum out of the pitch.
