Asia Cup 2018 : Final, India vs Bangladesh: Top players to look out for

Jasprit Bumrah

If Bangladesh have Mustafizur, India have Jasprit Bumrah. The 24-year-old who can bowl yorkers at will could be one of India's most potent weapons in the final against Bangladesh. The third highest wicket-taker in the tournament this time, with 7 wickets in 3 matches, Bumrah should be back in the playing XI after being rested for the match vs Afghanistan. Rohit will look to Bumrah to dry up the runs as well, apart from striking with the new ball. The young fast bowler has an exceptional economy rate of 3.37, having given away 89 runs in 26.2 overs he has bowled so far.

 

Mushfiqur Rahim

The former Bangladesh captain has always been one of the pillars of the Bangladesh team. And the 31-year-old showed just what he can bring to the table in the last Super 4 match vs Pakistan where he scored a brilliant 99. The wicket-keeper in fact is the second highest run-scorer in the tournament so far with 297 runs in 4 matches, with a highest score of 144. He has hit 23 fours and 5 sixes so far and has the ability to attack to the opposition bowlers and can be a key player in the final.

Ravindra Jadeja

The Indian all-rounder who has not been a regular member of India's ODI team for quite some time has been trying to silence his critics after being called in to replace the injured Axar Patel. In the 3 matches Jadeja has played in the tournament so far, he has batted just once, scoring 25 runs. But it's with the ball that he has proved to be very useful, taking 7 wickets so far and is in fact the joint-third highest wicket-taker so far in the tournament. Rohit will be looking to use Jadeja to try and pick regular wickets in the middle overs.
