Bowlers (Rashid Khan, Hassan Ali, Bumrah, Mustafizur)
How strong your bowling unit is, surely increases your winning chances as a team. Excluding Pakistan, Asian teams mostly bank on its batsmen rather than the bowlers. However, currently, there is a good number of match-winning bowlers present in Asia.
Afghanistan's Rashid Khan is right now the best-limited overs spinner. The pace he bowls at and the variations he has got in his bowling makes him the first contender when it comes to spin bowling. The best thing is that he can even bat when required at the lower order.
Now moving to seam bowlers, taking wickets at top and bowling at right spots in the death is the main priority of fast bowlers.
India's seam-bowling spearhead and highly praised bowler, Jasprit Bumrah would surely lead the bowlers' column while Pakistan's Hassan Ali will be his co-head. Former is tough to play with the new ball while the later is the middle-overs specialist. The third seamer would be Mustafizur Rehman, Bangladesh's top pacer. He bowls odd cutters and can swing the ball both ways.
Now the Current best Asian XI which can defeat any opposition even outside subcontinent sums up as :
Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (C), Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Shakib Al Hassan, Rashid Khan, Mustafizur Rehman, Hassan Ali, Jasprit Bumrah.
