Asia Cup 2022: Bowling challenges quite a poser for India

The Asia Cup isn't just about India-Pakistan matches, although the entire hype is about these games.

There are other teams in the fray, so for any side to make it to the Super Fours and beyond would need some consistent cricket, something which can often get affected when all the focus is on one particular contest.

It may well be that all from organisers and boards to television channels would be pretty happy if the entire tournament consisted only of matches between these two teams, the other sides may have something to say about that.

In that backdrop, there is the need for the batting and bowling departments of all sides to deliver at a regular high level, and that is where India will be challenged.
