Asia Cup 2018: Flop XI of the Tournament

Wicket Keeper:

#6 MS Dhoni (India)

MS Dhoni

Before the Asia Cup, Dhoni had a poor ODI series against England. He was even booed by the Indian fans in that ODI series. With his finishing skills waning in 2018, plenty much was expected from the former Indian skipper.

In the end, Dhoni failed once again in the Asia Cup. He cracked only 77 runs from four innings with a poor strike rate of 62.09. His growing troubles against spinners and inability to rotate the strike frequently are hurting the Indian team.

His return to the captaincy in the match against Afghanistan is perhaps the only moment to cherish for his fans.

All Rounder:

#7 Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh)

Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib was not fully fit for the tournament as he was nursing a finger injury. However, he played the competition with the help of painkillers. He managed to play four games for Bangladesh in the tournament.

In his four innings, he scored only 49 runs with two ducks. With the ball, he managed to pick seven wickets with four of them coming in a single innings against Afghanistan. Though his returns with the ball were average, his overall performance in the tournament was below par for his own standards.
