Asia Cup 2018: India's Predicted XI

Wicket-Keeper: M.S. Dhoni

Dhoni will surely be in the playing XI.

Dinesh Karthik has been in terrific form for almost a year now, but he is sure to sit in the dressing room throughout the course of the Asia Cup. After all, there is no better wicket-keeper in the country who can replace Dhoni in this Indian team.

Even at the ripe old age of 37, he remains the best wicket-keeper in the team by a mile. And after coming under criticism, he has shown in recent months that he still has a lot to deliver with the bat in hand.

His experience will be the deciding factor for picking him ahead of Karthik. While Rohit Sharma might be the official captain of this team, 'Captain Cool' will surely have a lot of say in most of the decisions.
