Asia Cup 2022 Final: The variation we have in bowling is amazing, says Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka

Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka heaped praise on their bowling line-up ahead of the T20 Asia Cup final against Pakistan here on Sunday and said that his bowlers can challenge any batting line-up going around. Wanindu Hasaranga's three-wicket haul, followed by Pathum Nissanka's brilliant unbeaten 55-run knock, guided Sri Lanka (124/5) to an easy five-wicket victory over Pakistan (121) in their 'Super Four' clash on Friday, a dress rehearsal for Sunday's title clash. Sri Lanka ended the 'Super 4'-stage campaign with three victories in as many matches, defeating Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. Both the teams had qualified for the final even before their 'Super 4' clash.

"Don't Think He'll Be Good Option For India:" Ex-Pakistan Captain On Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Prospects in T20 World Cup

Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt feels veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar won't be a good option for Team India in the T20 World Cup. Bhuvneshwar picked 11 wickets in the ongoing Asia Cup, but leaked a lot of runs in the death overs. He bagged a five-for in India's final game of the Super 4 stage against Afghanistan on Thursday. While suggesting that Bhuvneshwar is an excellent new-ball bowler, Butt feels that the Bhuvneshwar lacks pace, which makes it easier for the batters to target him in the death.

"Virat Kohli Dancing Again": AB de Villiers On India Star's 71st Century

As Virat Kohli performed a masterclass in batting against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, his close friend AB de Villiers was delighted to see his former teammate "dancing again". Whether de Villiers was referring to Kohli's jig at the crease while some Punjabi music blared on the stadium speakers or him dancing down the track to smash the Afghan spinners around the ground en route to his first international century in almost three years is not something we can be certain about, but the South African batting legend hailed it as a "lovely sight".

"Will Be Five Kilos Less": On Virat Kohli's Ton, Ex-India Coach Ravi Shastri's Out Of The Box Take

For Virat Kohli, his ton against Afghanistan in an Asia Cup Super 4 match was relieving to say the least. After over 1000 days, Kohli scored a ton in international cricket. His 122* off 61 balls against Afghanistan was also the highest-ever individual score in T20I cricket by an Indian. With the T20 World Cup starting in less than two months' time, the timing could not have been better for Kohli to roar back to form. After the ton on Thursday, former India coach Ravi Shastri was asked about Kohli reaching the triple-figure mark after 1020 days, and he gave his insight on it.

But the five-time champions bounced back to beat Bangladesh, Afghanistan and tournament favourites India, scuttling a hotly anticipated finals showdown between Rohit Sharma's men and archrivals Pakistan.

"It Is Three Years, Not Three Months": Ex-India Batter On Virat Kohli's Ton

India batter Virat Kohli finally got the monkey of his back as he registered his first international hundred after almost a gap of three years. However, the ton came in the format, no one would have thought of. Kohli registered his first T20I ton on Thursday against Afghanistan in the Super 4 clash of the ongoing Asia Cup. The batter's celebration after bringing up the landmark was a proof that he was himself relieved to score a ton after so long. However, former India batter Gautam Gambhir has said that no one would have survived without scoring a hundred for three years and it was Virat who survived because of the amount of runs he has scored in the past.
