On Monday, 21 August, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a 17-member squad for the Asia Cup. Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan have been included in the team as the other two openers. Agarkar says that Rohit, Gill and Ishan will be India's first-choice openers.
Ajit Agarkar said, "Shikhar Dhawan has been a great player for India. At the moment, there are three guys (Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan) who are doing really well. You can only fit 15 in a team." Maybe. Unfortunately, sometimes one has to miss. These are our favorite openers."
Shikhar last played an ODI for India in December last year against Bangladesh. Talking about Dhawan's ODI career, he has played 167 matches and scored 6793 runs at an average of 44.11. During this, 17 centuries and 39 half-centuries have been seen with his bat. His highest score in ODIs is 143 runs.
The Rohit-led side will play their first match in the Asia Cup 2023 against their arch-rivals Pakistan on September 2 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka. Hardik Pandya has been made the vice-captain of the team. Earlier there were reports that Jasprit Bumrah could be made the vice-captain of the team in place of Hardik.
Indian Team for Asia Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya (Captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, the famous Krishna.
