Team India have been the most formidable force in the history of the Asia Cup competition. The Men in Blue have been able to churn out results in their favour against the opponents. Rightly so, they were able to win more titles than any other team. Overall, Team India have won seven Asia Cup titles (six in ODIs and one in T20Is).
Team India’s performances took a big blow in the last edition of the Asia Cup. They ran through dismal performances wherein they surrendered at the hands of Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stages, only to be crashed out of the competition.
Nevertheless, they will be looking forward to making things right in the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup 2023 tournament, which will begin on August 31. Team India will start their journey on September 2 as they will take on the Pakistan cricket team. Meanwhile, let’s now learn about the names of three Indians who bagged the most Man of the Match awards in Asia Cup history.
1. Virat Kohli
