Asia Cup 2018: India's predicted XI without Virat Kohli

#4 Seamers

Bumrah's yorkers are hard to navigate

Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The selectors have picked four specialist seamers for the Asia Cup but two seamers are likely to play. India's seam bowling has been noteworthy and the pacers have done well in the Test series against England. Hence, Indian pacers will be determined to carry forward the impressive bowling form in the Asia Cup.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back from an injury and he is going to start. Likewise, Bumrah is the pillar of Indian pace bowling and his performance will be key in the Asia Cup. The selectors have also included Shardul Thakur and newcomer Khaleel Ahmed in the squad. However, they have a tiny possibility of getting a chance in the starting eleven.
