Predicting India's middle-order for Asia Cup

#4 Suresh Raina

Average of 45 at number 4, and more than 35 at number 5 and 6, Raina is a handy middle-order batsman. Having the ability to both attacks and stabilise an innings, to the top he is an excellent fielder too. His ability to bowl a few overs ranks him above the players we discussed prior.

With India most likely to go with 4 bowlers and 1 allrounder, Hardik Pandya being that man, Kohli will be looking for some overs from the part-timers so that if any bowler is having a bad day, it doesn't cost us the match. Of late multiple opportunities have been given to him and he hasn't grabbed them with both hands, it'll be interesting to see if India would be willing to give more.
