Cricket is a batsman’s game. Bowlers are considered to be the labor class of this game. With that being said, the batters have been dominating for a very long time. The T20 format has seen a rise in the quality and style of batting. Teams like England have developed new approaches for decimating the opposition. So, it is the batters that decide the pace of the game. Who will be the top 5 batters at Asia Cup 2022? Here is an in-depth look:
Virat Kohli from India will be at the Asia Cup:
Virat Kohli is facing the first dull patch of his career. The only thing that can help him overcome his failures is the success of the team. Virat is a complete team man. It will be interesting to see where Virat Kohli bats. There is a murmur that he can even open the innings along with Rohit Sharma. Virat is a big match player and a great man has once said, “For is temporary and class is permanent.”
Shakib Al Hasan will be at the Asia Cup:
Shakib Al Hasan is possibly playing his last Asia Cup. One must never ignore Shakib’s performances in multi-national tournaments. In the 2019 World Cup Shakib scored over 600 runs and picked 10+ wickets. He was a top contender for being a man of the tournament. He has always been a leader and a true champion. It will great to see if he could lead Bangladesh to the finals of the Asia Cup.
Pathum Nissanka will be at the Asia Cup from Sri Lanka:
Pathum Nissanka has come a long way. His mother used to sell flowers outside of a temple. From there on to playing for the national team, he has had a journey of his own. Nissanka has seen ups and downs in life and hence is a mentally tough player. Sri Lanka requires this mental toughness now. The country as a whole is in turmoil and the only thing that can soothe their pains is success in sports. Nissanka will have to bring out his A-game. He has the potential to do wonders and win games single-handedly.
Hardik Pandya from India:
Hardik Pandya from India is another champion batter. The Indian cricket team has often witnessed a collapse of their top order. Earlier there was a restlessness in the middle order but now with Hardik, that can be dealt with. He is bound to get opportunities on days when KL< Virat and Rohit do not fire. And each of us knows the prowess of Hardik Pandya.
Honorable Mentions:
- Babar Azam
- Rohit Sharma/KL Rahul
- Najibullah Zadran
Fakhar Zaman from Pakistan:
Fakhar Zaman is one hell of a batter. Coming from one match-winner to another, Zaman has a lot to offer Pakistan cricket. He was the antagonist in India’s dream of winning the Champions Trophy in 2017. On a good day, Zaman will win you games within a matter of 6 to 7 overs. He is a very impactful player. His square cut and cover-drive are a treat to watch. His game against spin is elite too.
