India won the previous two editions of the Asia Cup in 2016 and 2018.
10. Harshal Patel
One of India’s go-to bowlers to break partnerships and provide breakthroughs with a key wicket is Harshal Patel. The right-arm pacer is versatile and is capable of bowling at any stage of the game. He can bowl in the powerplay to get some early wickets or at the death to control the scoring rate.
Patel is known for his deception and subtle variations with the ball. He has an effective off-cutter and a seam-up delivery in his armoury. His main strength is being able to adapt across conditions and assess the game situations.
In IPL 2022, Patel picked up 19 wickets in 15 games at a strike rate of 16.89 with an economy rate of 7.66 and the best figures of four wickets for 34 runs for RCB. In IPL 2021, he bagged 32 wickets in 15 games and equalled the record for taking most wickets in an IPL season along with Dwayne Bravo. He is also capable of scoring a few runs late in the innings.
