Amid all the match excitements and predictions, the eyes will be on Shreyas Iyer who is making a comeback into the Indian team after suffering a back injury. Iyer’s comeback was necessary for the Indian team as it solved the problem of number 4 which haunted the Indian team for quite some time now. The team management as well as fans would be banking on the star India batter to deliver on the stage against Pakistan as performing in this match will do wonders for him in the upcoming ODI World Cup which will be played on Indian soil.
In a pre-match talk with the official broadcaster of Asia Cup, Star Sports, the 28-year-old batter stated that it is a privilege to play under the leadership of head coach as well as captain Shreyas Iyer.
