India Likely Playing XI for Asia Cup 2023 Final vs Sri Lanka: Check Predicted Indian 11 for Cricket Match in Colombo

India and Sri Lanka are all set to take centre stage in the summit clash of Asia Cup 2023 on September 17 at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. India kick-started their journey in the Super Four stage in style and secured an emphatic win over the arch-rivals Pakistan. Rohit Sharma & Co. showed their class in the encounter against Sri Lanka and booked a ticket to the final. However, they failed to sustain the winning momentum and succumbed to defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in their previous game. The Men in Blue would look to put their best foot forward in the high-voltage match against the Lankan Lions and grab the silverware. Washington Sundar Reportedly Set to Join Team India Squad As Replacement for Injured Axar Patel Ahead of Asia Cup 2023 Final Against Sri Lanka.

The likes of Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav, who were rested in the previous game against Bangladesh, are almost certain to be drafted into the side. Thus, the likes of Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Shami shall not feature in the upcoming game. Moreover, given the nature of the pitch, India will play an extra spin option or else stick with Shardul Thakur as their third pacer.

However, if the surface is on the drier side, the Men in Blue might go with an extra spinner. Axar Patel got injured in the previous game and if he achieves full fitness, the team management are likely to play him on a drier surface. But if the southpaw fails to be match-ready, the think tank might consider Washington Sundar, who is known to have flown in as cover for Axar. Shreyas Iyer has been sidelined due to back spasms of late. The ace batter attains full fitness for the Asia Cup 2023 final, India might ponder over his inclusion. But it would be difficult for him to break into play as KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan have shown good batting form in the middle order. Maheesh Theekshana Ruled Out of Asia Cup 2023 Final Against India Due to Injury, Sahan Arachchige Named As Replacement.
