Probable replacements for KL Rahul in the first two Asia Cup games
KL Rahul is coming off a thigh injury.
2. Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan did well in the three-match ODI series against the West Indies where he scored three fifties in three games. The only difference was the lad from Jharkhand opened the batting. In the Asia Cup if Shubman Gill opens then Kishan will have to bat at number 5. Interestingly for the Mumbai Indians (MI), he opened the batting and also batted in the middle order.
