Virat Kohli has not been in the best of forms in the recent times. The Delhi-based batter has been struggling with his timing and shot selection of late. The Indian legend earlier said that he would do anything to win the Asia Cup 2022. Former Indian skipper last scored a century in November 2019.

Coming into the Asia Cup 2022 after a brief break from the sport, the batter will be one of those to watch out for. The hunger to score runs would be there and we might see Virat Kohli producing some good innings in the tournament. Kohli will have to make the best use of the Asia Cup 2022 in order to do well in the 20-20 World Cup 2022.

2) Babar Azam:

Pakistani batter, Babar Azam has been in exceptional form. Babar Azam played some stunning Test knocks against Sri Lanka and helped the team win the first Test as well. Although Pakistan lost the second Test, Babar Azam was the only batter from Pakistan to put up a fight. Babar Azam is the number one T20I batter, currently, with a rating points of 818.

Given the batter's form of late, Babar Azam might end up being the leading run scorer in the Asia Cup 2022. And the legendary batter might even lead his team to victory. Babar Azam will surely be one of the players to watch out for in the upcoming Asia Cup 2022.

3) Suryakumar Yadav:

Suryakumar Yadav is the most talked about batter in the recent times. His excellent form with the bat has helped him reach second place in the T20I rankings. He is inching closer to Babar Azam in the T20I rankings to take the number one position.

Suryakumar Yadav is a 360 degree player for India. The Maharashtra batter can play the anchor role when needed and can attack when the need arises. He is one of the batters to watch out for alongside Virat Kohli and Babar Azam in the Asia Cup 2022.
