Team India probable 18-member squad and  predicted XI for Asia Cup

Pacers: Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar would play a central figure for India in Asia Cup

The deadly pace duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshar Kumar possess the ability to rip through the opposition batting lineup. Considering the form these two spearheads have been in the past couple of years, it would be a foolish decision to omit their names from the playing XI.

Bumrah's toe-crushing yorkers backed Bhuvneshwar's swinging deliveries would surely make matters worse for the rivals. And considering the present form of these spearheads, it won't be surprising if India manage to decimate oppositions to paltry totals in the Asia Cup games.

Spinners: Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav

Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav will hold the key for India's victories

The spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will make it extremely tricky for the remaining teams to either opt-in for quick singles or go for mammoth hits. They both have a considerable amount of experience to their name, and it's a high probability that they could emerge as match winners on quite a few occasions.

It would be interesting to see how skipper Virat Kohli makes the most of the spin attack and gets the better of the opposition unit.

Probable 18-man squad for the Asia Cup contests

Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(C), MS Dhoni(wk), Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav, Axar Patel, Ambati Rayudu and Mohammed Sraj
