If we are talking about players to watch out for, Virat Kohli will always be one of the players to be part of the list. The Indian batting icon has regained his form in almost all formats of the game which is a positive sign for India ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023 as well as the Asia Cup 2023 final. 

The former Team India skipper has scored four centuries in his last five innings at the R.Premadasa stadium in Colombo. He is one of the best batters when it comes to playing a match-winning knock under pressure. Indian fans would be hoping that he can deliver once again at the biggest stage.

2) Kusal Mendis

Kusal Mendis has turned out to be one of the best batters for Sri Lanka and he is the key to the side’s batting. In their pivotal Asia Cup 2023 encounter against Pakistan, Kusal delivered a game-changing knock. With the help of his wicket, Sri Lanka managed to win the match and move on to the championship.

He presently has the most runs scored and will be looking to add to that versus India in the 2023 Asia Cup final. He also has the best chance of winning Player of the Series honours if he produces another big knock and that his side prevails in the competition. 

3) KL Rahul

KL Rahul has recently been in excellent form, which is evident from his standout performances during both of the Asia Cup 2023 matches he has started. He scored a strong century against Pakistan in his opening match of the competition, and in his second match, he played a superb 40-ball knock to help his team to a respectable total.

After almost five months of absence due to a serious injury, he made a full recovery and has since taken control of the fifth position. He is the key to India’s middle-order as he can control the batting if early wickets fall or accelerate at the back-end of an innings as well. The team management would be hoping that he plays well in the final against Sri Lanka.
