Asia Cup 2023: Dhoni’s Sacrifice Sets a New Standard, According to Gambhir
In a stunning turn of events, former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni made a selfless compromise during Asia Cup 2023 that will be remembered for years to come. Gambhir, a fellow cricketer and commentator, has praised Dhoni for his actions, stating that no one else would have made such a sacrifice.
Rohit Sharma Aims to Recapture Asia Cup Glory
The last time India emerged victorious in the Asia Cup was in 2018, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Now, Sharma is determined to lead the team to glory once again in the upcoming tournament. However, Sri Lanka, the defending champions, will put up a tough fight to retain their crown after a remarkable performance against Pakistan in the previous edition.
In the last year’s final, played in the T20 format, Sri Lanka and Pakistan ended up in a thrilling tie. This time, India enters the tournament as the top seed, having secured four points in the Super Four stage with two wins and one loss. Notably, India delivered a stunning blow to arch-rivals Pakistan, bowling them out for only 228 runs in their first Super Four match.
However, the Indian team faced a setback in their final match against Bangladesh, where they struggled to score a mere six runs. Despite this defeat, India managed to secure their spot in the finals, finishing at the top of the Super Four, while Sri Lanka secured their place by coming in second.
Probable Playing Eleven for the Final
For the final, India is expected to field a strong team consisting of Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (wicket keeper), Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammad Siraj. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, is likely to have Pathum Nisanka, Kushal Perera, Kushal Mendis (wicket keeper), Sadira Samarawickrama, Charit Asalenka, Dhananjaya D’Silva, Dasun Shanaka (Captain), Dunit Vellalaghe, Dushan Hemanda, Kasun Rajitha, and Matisha Patiparana in their lineup.
