India Could Field Five Bowling Options Plus Abhishek For Asia Cup, Says Pathan
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan believes a five-pronged bowling attack featuring Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, along with all-rounders Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya and Abhishek Sharma could make for an ideal look in the Men's T20 Asia Cup, set to happen in the UAE from September 9-28.
India will play its Group A games against UAE and the high-stakes clash against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 10 and 14 respectively. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side will also face Oman at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on September 19.
“In my mind, it will be Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, then two all-rounders in Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya, which makes it five bowling options plus Abhishek Sharma. According to me, Bumrah is definitely there, then Chakaravarthy is 100 percent because his record is amazing. Arshdeep is fantastic and has been our number one bowler in T20Is.”
