Asia Cup 2018: SWOT Analysis of the Indian Team

#3 Opportunities

Khaleel Ahmed(L) and Shardul Thakur(R) have earned a great opportunity to showcase their skills

The Indian squad consists of players who are hungry to prove their mettle. Some have earned a comeback after being axed from the team, some experienced players struggled with their respective forms and hence have a lot to prove, and for Shardul Thakur and Khaleel Ahmed, the fresh faces, it is an opportunity of a lifetime. No shortage of talent, just a pool of hungry cricketers who are willing to give their best.

The regular vice-captain Rohit Sharma has to lead well in the absence of the regular captain Virat Kohli. In Dec 2017, he led India for the first time in his career and the team won the ODI series against Sri Lanka 2-1. Under his leadership, India won the Nidahas Trophy earlier this year as well. In conclusion, India has done well with Rohit as the skipper and this is a major opportunity for him to showcase his leading skills.

With MS Dhoni, one of the most successful captains of India in the team, Rohit has a great mentor and advisor to learn further and discuss the strategies in the times of need.
