Asia Cup 2023 is going to start on August 30, The first match will be played between Pakistan and Nepal in Multan. The Indian team will start their journey in this tournament on September 2, during which their first match will be against their arch-rivals Pakistan. With all eyes on this tournament, now former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has selected the strongest playing XI for the Asia Cup. Sourav Ganguly has not given place to Mohammad Siraj in the playing eleven.
In the past, Mohammad Siraj has led the Indian pace attack, but now Jasprit Bumrah is back in the team once again. Mohammed Shami will also be seen along with Bumrah in the Asia Cup, so the former captain has not given place to Mohammed Siraj in his playing XI. Sourav Ganguly believes that the Indian team should strengthen their bowling attack with 2 pacers (Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami), 3 all-rounders (Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Akshar Patel), and a spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
Former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly also made a shocking statement while selecting the Indian playing XI for the Asia Cup. He believes that Ravindra Jadeja should bat at number 4 for the Indian team. He said, “I will back Jadeja to bat at number 4. If Shreyas can bat at No.5, then Jadeja should play at No.4.”
