Asia Cup 2022: 3 Players who deserved to be in India's squad for the tournament
These players performed well of late.
3. Ishan Kishan
The swashbuckling batter has been a revelation in terms of his ball striking capabilities. Riding on a good second half of the IPL 2022, Ishan Kishan earned a call-up to the South Africa series. He responded in a brilliant fashion by accumulating 206 runs in five innings and emerging as the top run-scorer in the series.
Afterwards, Kishan garnered 29 runs in two innings against Ireland. However, the southpaw could not feature in enough games of the series against England and West Indies and garnered 19 runs in two innings.
In place of Kishan, several players like Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav donned the role of an opener in the T20Is. The presence of Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill further dented his opportunity to feature on the ODI side. Looking at the playing XI of the Indian team, Kishan, unfortunately, does not fall into the scheme of things for the T20 World Cup as well.
