Asia Cup 2018: 3 players that can play at No. 3 in place of Kohli

#2 Manish Pandey

Pandey is a strong stroke-maker and he also has the ability to pull out unorthodox strokes under pressure

Manish Pandey got a new confidence after he scored 306 runs in the 4 innings in the India A Quadrangular series.

He was not out in the entire series. His smashing form is a big reason that he could replace Kohli at the No. 3.

Pandey's batting style is perfect for that spot. He also used to bat at the same position for KKR in the past. He has played many match winning knocks for KKR batting at No. 3.

It could be a good chance for Pandey to show the world that he knows how to build an inning.

He is very good at chasing the targets which would be extremely important for India in the absence of Kohli.

Pandey is a strong stroke-maker and he also has the ability to pull out unorthodox strokes under pressure.

Team management needs to show faith in the Karnataka batsman so that he could give his best performance for the team.
