Asia Cup 2022: Predicting India's 15-member squad for the tournament
India won the previous two editions of the Asia Cup in 2016 and 2018.
14. Yuzvendra Chahal
Arguably the best white ball spinner in the country and one of the most skilful leg-spinners in the world, Yuzvenndra Chahal is the favourite to be the first-choice specialist spinner of India. He was dropped last year and missed out on making the T20 World Cup squad. But he has been an unstoppable force ever since.
In 2022, Chahal has picked up 15 wickets in 12 games at an average of 18.13 and strike rate of 15.2 with an economy rate of 7.12, making it his most prolific year since 2017. He was also signed by Rajasthan Royals (RR) for the 2022 IPL season and finished as the highest wicket-taker with 27 wickets in 17 matches.
Chahal is known for taking on top-quality batters by tossing up even if he goes for a few runs. He creates opportunities and gets some valuable wickets. He has got all the variations of a leggie from a genuine leg-spinner to a deceptive wrong-un to an effective slider.
