Asian Championship 2023: There are only a few days until the start of the Asia Cup 2023. This time the Asia Cup will also be played in the ODI format, i.e. 50 overs, because the ODI World Cup will take place directly afterwards and will be held in India from October 5th. With the exception of Nepal, the other teams would like to further strengthen their World Cup preparations from the Asian Cup onwards. Meanwhile, Team India has also been announced. Although Team India has not yet been announced for the World Cup either, it is believed that among the players playing in the Asian Cup, two to three players could be dropped from the World Cup squad. But there is a lot of tension ahead of Team India.
KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer return to Team India after a long absence
Two Team India players return from Asian Cup. KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. While KL Rahul returns to the Indian team after about six months, Shreyas Iyer celebrates his comeback after about eight months. Although both were fitness tested by the BCCI, you should keep in mind that this is not a 20-over match, but a full 50-over match. What is special is that these two players will take care of strengthening the middle class and if a player does not reach 100% of his potential, the difficulty can increase, especially in the match India vs Pakistan, which will take place on September 2nd .
Heavy Mid-tier Responsibility in 50-Over Match
If all goes well, KL Rahul will also have to take responsibility for holding, which means not only batting, but also holding the entire 50 overs. In any case, the responsibility of the middle class in the 50-over match increases as the importance of singles and doubles matches increases from the 20th to the 40th over. India’s first game will be against Pakistan, while the second game will be against the Nepalese team, which is considered weak. After that, if the Indian team reaches the Super 4, there will be another match against Pakistan. And after that there may be games with Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, who are considered good teams. In such a situation, even a small mistake can be fatal.
