Star India batter and skipper Rohit Sharma is set to lead India in the upcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. Ahead of the marquee event, the Indian team will face Pakistan in the Asia Cup on September 2. Despite a poor performance against the arch-rivals in the last few years, India will go in as favourites in the game. However, their fate in the game will depend on their skipper, Rohit Sharma.

Rohit, who will be looking to defend the Asia Cup title in ODI format as skipper, will also play a crucial role as the opener in the Indian batting order. He, along with his batting partner Shubman Gill, will set the tone of the game, and his performance will determine India's fate. It's worth noting that in the past, Rohit has been phenomenal against Pakistan in the ODI format.

In 16 ODI innings against Pakistan, Rohit has scored 720 runs at an average of 51.40. Rohit has smashed six half-centuries and two centuries against them, including 140 in the World Cup 2019. Rohit is also the highest run scorer against Pakistan among active Indian players. Star India batter Virat Kohli is in second place with less than 550 runs. Team India will expect Rohit to continue his dominance against Pakistan and help India win this crucial game.

Rohit Sharma needs 163 runs to join the 10,000-run club.

The Indian skipper is also nearing a milestone as he goes into the Asia Cup. In the ODI format, Rohit needs 163 more runs to complete ten thousand runs. With this, he will join the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rahul Dravid on the list. However, Rohit will be eyeing bigger milestones, which include winning the ODI World Cup and Asia Cup, to complete his trophy cabinet.

It's worth noting that India will start their Asia Cup campaign against Pakistan on September 2 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele. The game is likely to be troubled by rain, as there is an 80% chance of rain during the game. However, after the first half of the game, it will reduce, and we might witness a shorter game.
