When Shreyas Iyer, Hooda to fight for Asia Cup berth?
Rohit Sharma would like to continue his recent good form and positive intent in the two remaining performances will be under intense scrutiny as India gear up for the back-to-back T20I games against West Indies, starting in Fort Lauderhill on August 6, 2022, with the twin objective of winning the series and also firming up the squad for the T20 World Cup currently leading the five-match series 2-1 and nothing would be more satisfying than a couple of thumping wins in front of the USA's Indian diaspora, which is anticipating an enjoyable weekend cricket carnival this current Indian set-up, if there is one man whose performance will be monitored more than anyone else, it has got to be who has used most of the opportunities handed to him and looks good to outwit the moment as far as the big ticket T20 World Cup berth is concerned. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli are all set to be back in the playing eleven for the Asia Cup, time is certainly running out for the 27-year-old, who has had scores of 0, 10 (11 balls), and 24 (27 balls) in the three games so far in the ongoing series fast and rising deliveries of the short ball is his main problem, watching gives a feeling that he is unable to decide at what pace and which gear would he bat in a T20 game, something that's not the case when he is taking strike in the 50-over format. In coach Rahul's regime so far, no player has got a raw deal in terms of chances and is given long enough rope to succeed., in the case of, his T20I game hasn't exactly yielded the results that one has seen him deliver in ODI cricket given nine T20I games in the last two and half months, out of which, one in Bengaluru was a wash-out and there hasn't been a single fifty-plus score even when he got a chance to come out within the first 10 overs to go in the last two games, he has no option but to put his best foot forward as the Asia Cup team, in all probability, will also be the likely team for the T20 World Cup the cut for Asia Cup or T20 World Cup, there is a minuscule chance of him getting a first XI look-in in a jam-packed top-order be awe-inspiring shots left all and sundry wide-eyed, he is expected to have his skipper Rohit Sharma for the company at the top of the order. In the third game in Basseterre, Rohit was forced to retire hurt with a back spasm when he was it was more like a precautionary measure with a three-day gap in between games. Indian captain would like to continue his recent good form and positive at the same time would have the best seat to judge the form of some of his batters. Pant has looked good in all his short stints at the crease and wouldn't mind having a big one in front of a packed audience at Central Broward Park Stadium. Compulsive in the wake has been taken to the cleaners in the last two the pair has no other option but to continue with the profligate hasn't fully recovered from his rib-cage injury career has been a bit one with either bowling too short or too giving batters ample time to work on the pace or play the full-blooded drive interesting to see if a game in the series and India plays an extra spinner in the case doesn't get fit in time.: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Rishabh Pant, Ravindra, Ashwin, Ravi, Kuldeep, Singh, Khan, Kumar, Indies: Nicholas (Captain), Powell, Brooks, Dominic Drakes, Jason Holder, Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle, McCoy, Paul, Shepherd, Smith, Devon Thomas, Hayden Walsh.
