India outplayed Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the final of Asia Cup 2023 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. The Rohit Sharma-led side clinched a record-extending 8th Asia Cup title, thanks to Mohammed Siraj's sensational show in bowling. With the help of Siraj's 6 for 21 in 7 overs, India bundled out Sri Lanka for 50 runs after skipper Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to bat. Things went really well for the Indian cricket team at the continental event, which concluded with less than a month to go for the Cricket World Cup.

"Pretty Much Clear" That KL Rahul Will Keep Wickets In World Cup: India Great's Bold Remark

Former India batter Gautam Gambhir feels KL Rahul has cemented his place in the team as the first-choice wicketkeeper for this year's 50-over World Cup on home soil. Rahul, who was out of action since May due to a hamstring injury, returned to action during the Asia Cup Super 4 clash against Pakistan.

Asia Cup: Ex-India Star Points Out "One Thing" That Could Go Against Ishan Kishan

Former India batter Aakash Chopra feels Ishan Kishan's inability to rotate strike could against him as a middle-order batter, going into the World Cup. Kishan, who scored 82 during the group stage match against Pakistan, did not get the chance to bat in India's first Super 4 match. Against Sri Lanka, Kishan was promoted from no. 5 to no. 4, scoring 33 runs off 61 deliveries as India posted a 213-run total. While analysing the match, Chopra pointed out Kishan's tendency to play too many dot balls, which was earlier called out by former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan.

Shreyas Iyer's Back Stiffness Keeps India Worried As Squad For Australia Series Set To Be Named This Week

Shreyas Iyer's back injury isn't apparently very serious but concerns remain about his availability for India's final Super 4 game against Bangladesh on Friday as the national selection committee is set to name the squad for the three-match series against Australia sometime during the week. Iyer, who has come back after a long lay-off and a back surgery to cure his stress fracture, played against Pakistan and Nepal in the group league stage before pulling out of the match against the arch-rivals at the eleventh hour, complaining back spasms. A clearer picture will emerge on Thursday during the optional training ahead of the Bangladesh game.

India vs Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI, Asia Cup 2023: Will Shreyas Iyer Return For Super 4 Clash?

A strange turn of events sees the Indian team playing their second match of the Super 4 stage in the Asia Cup in less than 24 hours. After completing a comprehensive victory over Pakistan on Monday night, India will be up against Sri Lanka in a match, starting 3:00 PM in Colombo. While changing the winning combination might not be ideal, the fact that the players will be playing without a single day's breather, the team management might decide to bench one or two players in order to keep the team fresh for the remainder of the campaign, and the forthcoming ODI World Cup.

Asia Cup 2023: KL Rahul's Perfect Comeback Provides India With A Solution To No 4 Dilemma

It was the perfect comeback for KL Rahul as he slammed an impressive century during the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match between India and Pakistan on Monday. Rahul missed the first two matches of the competition due to a niggle but his inclusion in this match proved to be a masterstroke as he stitched together a brilliant partnership with Virat Kohli to take India to a mammoth total of 356/2 against a formidable Pakistan bowling attack. Rahul remained unbeaten on 111 off 106 deliveries with the help of 12 fours and 2 sixes. Rahul came out to bat at the No. 4 slot - a position that has been hotly debated of late - and his knock was a solid indication of his comfort to bat with the top-order.
