Under the guidance of the experienced Indian opener, Rohit Sharma, Team India is determined to break their five-year drought of not winning any multi-nation tournaments. India, known for their remarkable track record, is set to face defending champions Sri Lanka in the final of the Asia Cup 2023, which will take place on Sunday at the prestigious R Premadasa Stadium. Throughout the ongoing edition of this continental tournament, India has showcased their dominance by securing impressive victories against Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Rohit Sharma and his teammates crushed Babar Azam's Pakistan, achieving their most significant One Day International (ODI) triumph over the Green Army during the Super 4 stage of the tournament. Following this triumph, the Men In Blue continued their exceptional performance by outclassing Sri Lanka, securing their spot in the highly anticipated Asia Cup final. However, in their final Super 4 match against Bangladesh, the absence of the renowned Virat Kohli resulted in India's first defeat of the Asia Cup.
