Probable Best Batter

Shubman Gill (India)-

Indian opener Shubman Gill could be the best batter for India in the Asia Cup 2023 final. Gill was sensational for India in the first game, scoring 121 runs in 133 deliveries. He would look to put in a similar knock against Sri Lanka and guide his side to the title win.

Probable Best Bowler

Kuldeep Yadav (India)-

Star Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav could be the best bowler for India in the Asia Cup final. Kuldeep is one of the highest wicket-takers of the tournament and is in sensational form. His spell would be crucial for India in taking major breakthroughs and hopefully win them the game.
