Asia Cup 2018: India's Expected Line-up 

En

#4 Bowlers: Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Jasprit Bumrah

India look set to field their first-choice bowling attack of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah are considered India's best pace-bowling duo in limited overs in recent times, and their ability to bowl well with the new ball up front and with the old ball at the death will bode well for India when they travel to England for the World Cup. Both of them have recently suffered injuries, with Bumrah missing India's first two Tests against England and Bhuvneshwar missing the entire series, so the management might consider managing their workload over the course of the tournament, in which case Shardul Thakur and/or Khaleel Ahmed might get a go.

The 'spin twins', who came into reckoning because of India's fingerspinners' dismal showing in the Champions Trophy Final against Pakistan, have been on fire ever since. Their last two tours of South Africa and England have been major challenges, and they performed well in both of those countries in conditions that do not traditionally favour spinners. It is clear that they will both feature in India's World Cup campaign next year, and they will be looking to carry on with their good work in this Asia Cup.
