Following a break from cricket, Virat Kohli had a brilliant Asia Cup where he emerged as the tournament's second highest scorer and was in sublime touch. His form is a good sign for India ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup which is less than a month away.

"I'm incredibly humbled and honoured to have won the player of the month award from the ICC -- more humbling that I'm the first Zimbabwean to ever win such an award," said Sikandar Raza.

Rishabh Pant, who didn't play in the Group A match against Pakistan as Dinesh Karthik was preferred, was included in the eleven for Sunday's match over the veteran keeper-batter. Pant hit two fours in his 14 off 12 balls before reverse-sweeping straight to backward point off Shadab Khan.

Hardik claimed 3/25 with the ball and made 33 not out from just 17 balls, leading India to a thrilling five-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening game of Asia Cup on Sunday. His impactful performance also showed that the 28-year old will be vital in India's T20 World Cup campaign later in the year in Australia.

In the 2018 Asia Cup, then played in 50-over format in the UAE, against the same opponent, Hardik Pandya was stretchered off the field for an acute lower back injury. He had clutched his back while on his follow-through in the 18th over of Pakistan's innings after lying motionless, leaving fans as well as cricketers greatly worried.
