Asia Cup 2018: Top 5 all-rounders 

The Asia Cup 2018 ended with India clinching the title after a narrow last-ball win against Bangladesh. India, the unbeaten team of the tournament since the 2014 edition, faced a gutsy Bangladesh challenge in the final and with a great all-round performance, they managed to emerge victorious.

All-rounder, in fact, is a great asset a team can have as they can leave a mark both with the bat and ball. Asia cup too was filled with some stupendous all-round performances.

In this list, we will have a look at the five best all-rounders in the tournament, rank based on their performances.

#5 Mahmudullah

Mahmudullah ranks fifth in the list

Albeit quite not in a good form, Mahmudullah managed to contribute to Bangladesh's overall performance. Apart from being economical, he picked up three wickets in six games and with the bat, he scored 156 at an average of 26 which includes a match-winning knock of 74 against Afghanistan in a must-win encounter.

#4 Mohammad Nabi

Nabi ranks fourth in the list

Mohammad Nabi has been an integral part of the Afghanistan team since its associate days. This tournament too, Nabi pulled off some exceptional performance which made the journey of Afghanistan Cricket Team memorable.

Nabi picked up five wickets in as many games with an exceptional economy rate of 3.76. He was handy with the bat too as he scored 134 runs at an average of 26.80 which includes a blistering 56 ball 64 against India.

#3 Kedar Jadhav

Kedar Jadhav ranks third in the list

Fondly called "The man with a golden arm", Kedar Jadhav proved his worth to the Indian team with some match-defining performances.

His three-fer against arch-rivals Pakistan in the group stage decimated Pakistan's batting line-up as they were bundled out for 162.

With India's top order in mercurial form, Jadhav could not get ample opportunity with the bat but he played vital knock in whatever opportunity he got.

In three innings he batted, he scored 70 runs with a strike rate of 87.50 which includes an unbeaten title-winning knock of 28 in the Asia Cup final. He was colossal with the ball as he picked 6 wickets in 6 games with an economy of 3.97.

#2 Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja bagged four wickets in his comeback game

Injury to Indian fast-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya paved way for Ravindra Jadeja as he announced his comeback in a great fashion.

After returning to ODI format after almost a year in the Super Four fixture against Bangladesh, Jadeja picked four wickets as Bangladesh batting order went haywire. They were eventually bundled out for 173.

In a match against Afghanistan, he scored vital 25 runs to tie the game for India. His electric fielding too grabbed many eyeballs as his phenomenal fielding fetched the wicket of the in-form batsman Mohammad Mithun in the Asia Cup final.

In four of his Asia Cup matches, he picked up seven wickets at an economy of 4.45 while he managed to score 48 runs in two innings.

#1 Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan was the joint highest wicket-taker in the Tournament

Unsurprisingly, Rashid Khan finished the tournament as the leading wicket-taker along with Mustafizur Rahman and Kuldeep Yadav. With an economy rate of 3.72, Rashid scalped 10 wickets in five matches.

Apart from his bowling, his batting was also the talk of the tournament. In a group match against Bangladesh which was coincidentally on his birthday, he smashed a belligerent 32 ball 57 before returning back to pick up two wickets. He finished the match with the figures of 9-3-13-2. He bagged a Man of the Match award on his birthday and became only the third International Cricketer to do so.

He was handy with the bat too as he amassed 87 runs in four games with a healthy strike rate of 142.62.
