Asia Cup 2018: India's Predicted XI against Bangladesh

Middle order (Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik)

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

Both Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik have managed a starting spot in the first two matches ahead of KL Rahul and Manish Pandey, much to our surprise.

Nevertheless, neither of them has done anything wrong thus far and will most likely retain their respective positions as such. Following Virat Kohli's anticipated exclusion, this is the ideal time for the brace to show their true mettle and cement their places in the Indian squad.
