<h2><strong>Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Asia Cup 2022 Match Preview:</strong></h2>



<p>Both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have faced tough times in the recent past as far as their T20I performance is concerned. While Sri Lanka has failed to clinch a single T20I series in 2022, Afghanistan lost its recent five-match T20I series against Ireland.</p>



<p>Despite that fact, both sides will aim to start off their campaign on a winning note in Dubai International Stadium.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, Sri Lanka will be short of their premier pacer Dushmanta Chameera, who has been ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 after suffering a calf injury. Right-armer Pramod Madushan has been added to the Sri Lanka squad as Chameera?s replacement.</p>



<p>Although Afghanistan suffered a close loss against Ireland in the five-match T20I series, they white-washed Zimbabwe in the series prior to Ireland's in the latter?s backyard which would certainly give them fair bit of encouragement to deal with the Sri Lankans.</p>

<p>The opening match of the Asia Cup 2022, i.e, Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan was nothing short of a surprise for we fans and cricket experts. The match saw several incredibly good performances from an underrated Afghanistan side who did extremely well both with the bat and the ball to outplay the Sri Lankans. Here are the player ratings of all players from both teams for this match:-</p>



<h2>Afghanistan</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/FbL6DfLUcAMXRH5_11zon.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-93455"/><figcaption>Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan: Afghanistan picked up a great victory in their first match of Asia Cup 2022</figcaption></figure>



<h3>1. Hazratullah Zazai - 8.5</h3>



<p>Hazratullah played a sublime inning of 37 off 28 balls and steered his side to a convincing win.He stayed on till the end and remained on strike till his team reached the target. This he gets an 8.5 out of 10.</p>



<h3>2. Rahmanullah Gurbaz - 9</h3>



<p>With his whirlwind innings of 40 off just 18 balls, he totally demolished all Sri Lankan hopes by getting his team of to a great start. His innings helped his side never lose momentum and reach the target of 106 with ease. This he gets a 9. He was one of the top performers of the Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan match. </p>



<h3>3. Ibrahim Zadran - 6.5</h3>



<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrahim_Zadran">Ibrahim Zadran</a> who got run out at the score of 15 could have certainly remained not out otherwise. His fairly good contribution helped his side get ever so close to the target after the fall of Rahmanullah. He thus gets a 6.5 out of 10.</p>



<h3>4. Najibullah Zadran - 5</h3>



<p>The left-handed didn't really have much to do in the game as he remained not out on 2 as his team reached the target inside 11 overs. He held onto a catch while on the field to dismiss Pathirana. He thus gets a 5.</p>



<h3>5. Karim Janat - 4</h3>



<p>Pretty similar to Zadran, Karim Janat too didn't have to make any significant contributions to his team's emphatic win neither with the bat nor on the field . He thus gets a 4.</p>



<h3>6. Mohammed Nabi - 8</h3>



<p>Afghanistan's captain Mohammed Nabi was absolutely sensational with the ball. His figures of 2-14 overs were amazingly good. Also his incredible bowling changes helped the side chole the opposition. He thus gets an 8.</p>



<h3>7. Rashid Khan - 7</h3>



<p>Rashid Khan was economical with the ball and conceded just 12 runs in his quota of four overs. The fact that he wasn't able to pick any wickets in a match where the opposition team got all out was a sort of surprise though. He thus gets a 7 out of 10.</p>



<h3>8. Azmatullah Omarzai - 4.5</h3>



<p>Omarzai bowled just one over in the match and was hit for 20 runs. The only poor performer for Afghanistan in the match and this he gets a 4.5.</p>



<h3>9. Naveen Ul Haq - 7</h3>



<p>His figures of 1-23 in four overs were good enough and played a minor role in his team's success with the ball. He gets a 7 out of 10.</p>



<h3>10. Mujeeb Ur Rahman - 7.5</h3>



<p>With his mystery of spin, Mujeeb once again was successful in choking the runs and picking wickets in today's game. His spell of 2-24 in 4 overs was crucial for his side to trouble the opposition batters. He gets a 7.5 out of 10.</p>



<h3>11. Fazalhaq Farooqi - 9.5</h3>



<p>With his incredible spell of 3-11 in 3.3 overs, he delivered a match-turning performance with the ball for his team. His brilliance with the ball was the major reason why Afghanistan won the match. He was this rightly adjudged the man of the match and gets a 9.5. He is the undoubted star of this Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan match. </p>



<h2>Sri Lanka</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Zimbabwe_11zon-1-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-93456"/><figcaption>Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan - Sri Lanka put up a disappointing show against Afghanistan in tonight's match. </figcaption></figure>



<h3>1. Pathum Nissanka - 4</h3>



<p>Nissanka was unlucky enough to be adjudged out wrongly by the umpire. His contribution of 3 runs with the bat wasn't good enough and he gets a 4.</p>



<h3>2. Kushal Mendis - 2.5</h3>



<p>Kushal Mendis was dismissed for just 2 in the first over itself and didn't have any contributions in the field too. He thus gets a 2.5.</p>



<h3>3. Charith Asalanka - 1</h3>



<p>Asalanka was dismissed for a golden duck in the first over itself by Farooqi and gets a 1. He was one of the worst performers of the Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan match. </p>



<h3>4. Danushkha Gunathilaka - 5</h3>



<p>Gunathilaka stopped the fall of wickets but still couldn't hold the innings together for long. His innings of 17 were cut short pretty early with his team reeling at 49/4. He thus gets a 5.</p>



<h3>5. Bhanuka Rajapaksha - 6.5</h3>



<p>Rajapaksha was the best batsman for his side in the game with his innings of 38. His getting runs out unfortunately at the wrong time possibly cost his side the game. He gets a 6.5.</p>



<h3>6. Wanindu Hasaranga - 6</h3>



<p>Wanindu failed with the bat after being dismissed just for 2 and picked the wicket of the dangerous looking Rahmanullah Gurbaz. He thus gets a 6.</p>



<h3>7. Dasun Shanaka - 2</h3>



<p>Sri Lanka's skipper was dismissed for a golden duck and didn't have any contributions with the ball as well. His bowling changes and captaincy decisions too seemed rather frail and he gets a 2.</p>



<h3>8. Chamika Karunaratne - 5.5</h3>



<p>He held the innings together and prevented the continuous fall of wickets. His innings of 31 off 38 balls towards the middle phase of the innings helped the team reach the 100-run mark. However, with the ball, he was smashed for 20 runs in his only over of the match. He thus gets a 5.5.</p>



<h3>9. Maheesh Theekshana - 3</h3>



<p>Theekshana was run out without facing delivery and conceded 35 runs in his 4 overs without being able to pick up a single Wicket. He thus gets a 3.</p>



<h3>10. Matheesha Pathirana - 3</h3>



<p>Pathirana scored 5 runs with the bat before being dismissed and was hit for 16 runs in one over of the match that he bowled in. He thus gets a 3.</p>



<h3>11. Dilshan Madushanka - 2</h3>



<p>Dilshan Madushanka couldn't have any significant impact in the game during the only over he bowled in the match in which he conceded 10 runs. He thus gets a 2.</p>

Asia Cup 2022: Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Player ratings

sri-lanka-vs-afghanistan-player-ratings

<p>The Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan game was a shocker. No one expected underdogs Afghanistan to beat Sri Lanka as the Sri Lankan team was looking good off-late. With that being said, it was the exceptional performances from Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb Zadran along with Gurbaz with the bat. So, how did the game go? What went on? Here is an in-depth look at the same. </p>



<h2>Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan, 1<sup>st</sup> Innings Review:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The first innings were totally in favor of the Afghanis. They sheerly dominated the opposition from the word goes. The first amazing side of Afghan domination was Fazalhaq Farooqi. This under-dog-like bowler was elite. He was placing the bowl in the right areas and was getting the bowl to swing a mile. He was troubling Kusal Mendis a lot. Finally, on the 5th ball of the innings, Kusal Mendis was sent back. Charith Asalanka was the next one to walk away on his very first ball. Farooqi bowled 3 overs at an economy of 1.7! Sri Lanka was at 3-2. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Fazalhaq-Farooqi-min-2-1024x576.jpg" alt="Fazalhaq Farooqi" class="wp-image-93462" /><figcaption>Farooqiruled the first innings of the game. IMG SRC: IPL </figcaption></figure>



<p>Mujeeb and Nabi then took over. Bhanuka Rajapakshe did try to stitch partnerships but was running out of partners. It was a combination of good batting and poor bowling. Sri Lanka kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The players were playing poor shots. The fall of wickets was something like this, 5-3, 49-4, 60-5, 64-6, and so on. Sri Lanka got wrapped up for 105. With a few hits from Chamika Karunaratne. Fazalhaq Farooqi scalped two wickets and so did Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan, 2<sup>nd</sup> Innings Review:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Rahmanullah-Gurbaz-min.jpg" alt="Rahmanullah Gurbaz Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan." class="wp-image-93463" /><figcaption>In the second innings all eyes were on Gurbaz! IMG SRC: ICCCricketSchedule.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The second innings was a completely different ball game for the batters. It looked like the Afghan batters were batting on a different pitch. Rahmanullah Gurbaz started to take the bowlers to the cleaners. He was striking at the rate of 250! Hazrat Zazai on the other end was watching the great show. Hasaranga scalped Gurbaz?s wicket for 40 runs but by that time it was too late. Afghanistan won the game by 8 wickets and just less than 10 overs to spare. It was a clinical and dominant performance. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Brief Scores of Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan:&nbsp;</h2>



<h3>1<sup>st</sup> Innings:&nbsp;</h3>



<p>Bhanuka Rajapaksha: 38 of 29 balls.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Chamika Karunaratne: 31 of 38 balls.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Fazalhaq Farooqi: 11/3.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Mujeeb Ur Rahman: 24/2.&nbsp;</p>



<h3>2<sup>nd</sup> Innings: &nbsp;</h3>



<p>Rahmanullah Gurbaz: 40 runs of 18 balls.&nbsp;</p>

Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan: Afghanistan wins by 8 Wickets to Spare. Shock Sri Lanka in Asia Cup 2022.&nbsp;

sri-lanka-vs-afghanistan-afghanistan-wins-by-8-wickets-to-spare-shock-sri-lanka-in-asia-cup-2022

<p>The Super 4 stage of Asia Cup 2022 begins today. Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan is the first conquest. Afghanistan is a surprise entrant in the top 4 as they played out Bangladesh to earn their spot in the Super 4 stage. They were the best team in the 1<sup>st</sup> Group. With that being said, what are the points to ponder upon in the upcoming game? Here is an in-depth preview of the Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan Super 4 Game:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Afghanistan Team Preview Before Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Rashid-Khan-min-1024x538.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-93799"/><figcaption>All eyes will be on spin maestro Rashid Khan.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The first team to qualify for the Super 4 stage after India was Afghanistan. They were very dominant in the first stage of the tournament. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan along with Fazalhaq Farooqi held their bowling together. Their top batters were Najibullah Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. It is always said that if the Afghani bowlers manage to wrap the opposition for around 150, the batters can get the job done. The rising giants of Asia have performed exceptionally well. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Afghanistan Squad for Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Mohammad Nabi (c), Najibullah Zadran, Afsar Zazai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Farid Ahmad Malik, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Karim Janat, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Najibullah Zadran, Naveen ul Haq, Noor Ahmad, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Samiullah Shinwari. Standby:&nbsp;Nijat Masood, Qais Ahmed, Sharafuddin Ashraf.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Playing XI:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrhaim Zadra, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Karim Jannat, Rashid Khan, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Naveen Ul Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Sri Lanka Team Preview Before Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Sri Lanka might not be that high on confidence as they have barely managed to qualify for the Super 4s. They would have expected more clinical performance. With that being said, they can fancy their chances against Afghanistan in the Super 4 as the team doesn?t have experience performing in the later stages of a multi-national tournament. Kusal Mendis was impressive with the bat. Maheesh Teekshana and Pathirana need to play to potential &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Sri Lanka Squad for Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Dasun Shanaka (c), Danushka Gunathilaka, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Ashen Bandara, Dhananjaya de Silva, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Praveen Jayawickrama, Chamika Karunaratne, Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwanidu Fernando, Nuwan Thusara, Dinesh Chandimal.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Playing XI:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksha, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Teekshana, Asitha Fernanado, Dilshan Madhushanka. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Expected top Performer in Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan Super 4:&nbsp;</h2>



<p><strong>Charith Asalanka:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Charith-Asalanka-min-1024x538.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-93798"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The expected top performer with the bat is Asalanka. Sri Lanka relies on this solid batter for support. He is the rock of their team and is technically very sound. His success will eventually mean the success of the Sri Lankans. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>SL vs AFG: Updated World Cup 2023 Points Table: </strong>In an important victory, Afghanistan defeated Sri Lanka at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on October 30. The Afghans riding on the back of a clinical bowling show followed by a superb batting display, edged the former World Cup winners, Sri Lanka by seven wickets. With the win, Afghanistan will continue their World Cup 2023 semi-final spot hunt as they keep themselves firm in fifth place in the Updated World Cup 2023 Points Table. </p>



<p>In recent times, Afghanistan has shown great improvement in their cricketing legacy. They nearly knocked Sri Lanka out during the Asia Cup 2023 and now on the world stage, they have taken over all the limelight after defeating big wig teams - England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. </p>



<p>Talking about the recent fixture between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, the former scored 241 runs total before getting bowled out at the hands of Afghanistan. On a good batting surface, the score was not really competitive, which was felt by the Sri Lankan bowlers as they couldn't defend it.</p>



<p>Opener Prathum Nissanka led the charge of the Sri Lankan innings with a knock of 46 runs in 60 deliveries. Later in the innings, Kusal Mendis (39 runs), and Sadeera Samarawickrama (36 runs) among others also chipped in with their handy contributions to take Sri Lanka's overall total to 241 runs.</p>



<p>Left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi played a vital role in reducing Sri Lanka to a low total on a decent batting track with a four-wicket haul. Besides, Mujeeb picked two while Rashid Khan and Azmatullah got one apiece.</p>



<p>241 was never going to put pressure on the Afghanistan batting lineup which had many bright stars shining. Although Sri Lanka managed to provide an early breakthrough (Rahmanullah Gurbaz) in the very first over, the other batters were too confident to budge. Barring Ibrahim Zadran, who scored 39 runs, the next three batters completed their half-centuries. The likes of Rahmat Shah (62 runs), Hashmatullah Shahidi  (58* runs) and Azmatullah Omarzai (73* runs) played half-century knocks, with the latter two batters remaining unbeaten. </p>



<p>Those solid contributions from Afghanistan's middle-order helped the team clinch an easy win against Sri Lanka in Pune by seven wickets and 4.4 overs to spare. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SL vs AFG: Afghanistan Rise in the Points Table ? World Cup 2023</strong></h2>

" class="wp-image-122060" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rahmat Shah scored a half-century against Sri Lanka in World Cup 2023 | Image: Associated Press</figcaption></figure>



<p>The victory against Sri Lanka aided Afghanistan to consolidate their position in the World Cup 2023 Points Table. With three wins and as many losses in six matches, Afghanistan is placed fifth in the points table. The team will now compete with the likes of New Zealand and Australia as there is nothing too much of a difference between the number three ranked team (New Zealand) and the number five ranked team (Afghanistan), except for a solitary victory.</p>



<p>Sri Lanka's position is on a decline in the World Cup 2023. They have just managed to win two matches and lost four in the six games they have played so far in the tournament. Sri Lanka are now tied with Pakistan and Netherlands, who all are standing at the bottom half of the points table with four points each.</p>

The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.</span></p>
<p><span>Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI.

<p><span>India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space">Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</span></span></h2>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.</span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</span></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>1: Rohit Sharma (C)</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679065b3730c0.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="493"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Rohit Sharma - The Indian skipper at the top (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian captain and opener Rohit Sharma will be a part of the India-Pakistan combine playing XI. The right-handed batter has exceptional records and stats in ICC tournaments for the Indian Cricket Team.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Rohit Sharma has scored a total of 10,866 runs with an average of 49.16, including 31 centuries and 57 fifties in ODIs. Sharma has this ability to score quick runs and introduce the x-factor of the game for his side. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>2: Babar Azam</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Former Pakistan captain and top-order batter Babar Azam would also be a part of the combined ODI playing XI. Though he has been scorched off form recently and has faced sheer criticism, however, the players great antics cannot be overlooked owing to his sudden dip in form. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Babar Azam has managed to score 5,957 runs with an average of 56,73, including 19 centuries and 34 fifties.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>3: Virat Kohli</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>One of the greatest players when it comes to limited overs cricket, Virat Kohli is considered the greatest in the format, while his fearless approach often frightens any bowling attack in the world. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Virat Kohli is nearing the great landmark of 14000 ODI runs in international cricket, as he for now has a total of 13,906 runs to his name with an average of 58.18, including 50 centuries and 72 fifties.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>4: Shreyas Iyer</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer"><strong>Shreyas Iyer </strong></a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>5: Mohammad Rizwan</span></h3>

<p><span>New Pakistan skipper - Mohammad Rizwan (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan fins his name in this combined playing XI for India and Pakistan. The currently named skipper of the Pakistan limited-overs side, has produced results after his immediate effect.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Mohammad Rizwan has scored a total of 2,352 runs with an average of 41.26, including 3 centuries and 15 fifties, however, he is one of the most standout players for Pakistan in the middle-order. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>6: Hardik Pandya</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian all-rounder <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardik_Pandya"><strong>Hardik Pandya</strong></a> has been the asset for the Indian side, winning matches on several occasions. Pandya has been a responsible batsman down the order with an exemplary record against Pakistan. He on several occasions has won matches for India single-handedly, be it with the bat or with the ball. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>7: Shadab Khan</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shadab Khan, the Leg-spin bowling all-rounder has been a crucial player for the Pakistan cricket team in recent times.Though Shadab Khan has not featured much for Pakistan in recent times, his services have been relished by the nation when it comes to limited-overs cricket. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>8: Kuldeep Yadav</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790665563c6d.jpg" alt="" width="741" height="461"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm Chinaman bowler, has had an immense impact on India’s performances under sub-continent conditions. He is known for his standout services in the ODI format and hence features as the only main spin bowling option in the 11.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 172 wickets for the Indian side with an economy of just 4.99.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shaheen Shah Afridi has seemingly restored his form after his work stress was reduced, as the pacer has this supreme ability to swing the new ball on both sides. For Pakistan, Shaheen has been a proven matchwinner in several high-profile games in ICC tournaments.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>10: Jasprit Bumrah</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>11: Mohammed Shami</span><span></span></h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Mohammed Shami, the most experienced right-arm fast bowler for India, is set to feature in the upcoming Champions Trophy, as he has never featured for the Indian team ever since the last Cricket World Cup in 2023, where he was the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Mohammed Shami has clinched a total of 195 wickets for the men in blue with an economy of 5.55.</span></p>
