India will take on Sri Lanka in the final of the Asia Cup 2023 at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Sunday. While the Rohit Sharma-led finished at the top spot in the Super 4 table with 4 points and a net run rate (NRR) of +1.753, Sri Lanka entered the final after a second spot finish, 4 points and an NRR of -0.141. India suffered a shock six-run loss to Bangladesh in their last match of the Super 4 stage, while Sri Lanka stunned Pakistan with a two-wicket win (DLS method) to set up a summit clash with the seven-time Asia Cup champions, the most successful team in the tournament history.
Here is what we think could be India's playing XI for the Asia Cup 2023 final match against Sri Lanka -
Rohit Sharma: The captain has scored three half-centuries in his past four innings in the tournament. Rohit, the batter, is looking more confident at the crease now. In terms of captaincy, he has been on the money with his bowling changes and field placements, more often than not.
Shubman Gill: He is the top-scorer in the tournament with 275 runs to his name across five matches at an average of 68.75. Gill enters the final on the back of a sensational 121 against Bangladesh in India's last Super 4 match.
Virat Kohli: The right-handed batter has looked good in the tournament in one of the three innings. While Kohli scored 122 not out against Pakistan, he returned single-digit scores in the rest two innings.
