Asia Cup 2023: India Predicted Playing XI against Nepal

The Indian team had a tough day against Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 as they were troubled by the Men in Green pacers and barely managed to put up a decent total on the board before rains ruined the match. Now they will face off against Nepal on September 4^th, a match they need to win to make it into the Super 4s stage.  

Nepal had played the tournament opener against Pakistan in Multan and was hammered by 238 runs and will now face India in their first-ever ODI against the neighbours. The venue for the match will be the Pallekele Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka.

If India wins this match, they will qualify for the Super 4s stage and join Pakistan from Group A. For doing so, they need to pick the best playing XI for the crucial encounter, which despite being against minnows Nepal, cannot be taken lightly.

Here is the India Predicted Playing XI Against Nepal:

Rohit Sharma (C)

Rohit Sharma is one of the pillars of the Indian batting along with Virat Kohli and had looked good against Shaheen Afridi earlier in the innings, hitting him for two boundaries as well.

However, after the rain break, Afridi shortened his length and beautifully set the Indian captain up for his clean bowled dismissal by bowling two outswingers and then getting on back into the opener.

The match against Nepal will be the ideal one for Rohit to get into his groove in the tournament and prepare for the upcoming challenges in the Super 4s stage.
