Asia Cup 2018: India's strongest playing XI for Super Fours

Wicketkeeper and all-rounders

Kedar Jadhav, the all-rounder

Former India captain MS Dhoni will retain his place as the wicketkeeper-batsman. Kedar Jadhav, who is coming back from an injury he suffered during the 2018 IPL, has looked good in both the matches in the tournament. Against Hong Kong, he scored a crucial 28 down the order and helped India post 285 while he was the main reason why India managed to restrict Pakistan to a low score as his three wickets in the middle overs turned the match in favour of India.

Hardik Pandya suffered an injury and left the field in the middle of the innings. There are no updates about his injury and the team management will not take a chance and make him play at least in the first match of the Super Four stage. Instead, they could be giving Axar Patel a place in the side as an all-rounder.
