#1 Rohit Sharma 

Hitman had to lead the Team India after their regular skipper Virat Kohli was rested owing to increased workload. Sharma didn’t disappoint and led the team from the front. Rohit was clinical as captain and stole the limelight with a clever shuffling of bowlers and right field positions. Moreover, Rohit is the third leading scorer of the tournament so far with a tally of 269 runs in 4 innings.

#2 Shikhar Dhawan

It seems like Gabbar has let go of his nightmare run in the English summer. Dhawan has looked at his very best; piling on 327 runs with the help of two hundreds to become the highest run-getter of the tournament so far. Shikhar and Rohit have been involved in two hundred and one double-hundred partnership till now in the Asia cup 2018.
