Key players to watch as India eyes a fourth Asia Cup

The Indian lineup boasts several stand‑out performers. Opening pair Smriti Mandhana, a run‑machine in past editions, and Shefali Verma bring aggressive starts. All‑rounder Deepti Sharma adds depth with both bat and ball, while wicket‑keeper Richa Ghosh offers explosive batting in the middle order. The seam attack of Krisha Gaur and Renuka Thakur is complemented by spin specialists Shri Chawra, who has taken 27 wickets in 15 T20Is, and Radha Yadav. Their combined skill set gives India a balanced side capable of chasing any target.
