LAL SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE KULDEEP IN PLAYING XI
Former India cricketer Madan Lal has backed India as strong favourites for the upcoming Asia Cup, set to begin in the UAE on September 9.
“India have a skilled and balanced side, making them clear favourites. That said, the T20 format is unpredictable, and teams like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and especially Afghanistan — who are performing well at the moment — cannot be underestimated,” Lal told ANI.
