Dubai, Sept 18 (IBNS): Pakistani skipper Sarfraz Ahmed has said that India could feel the absence of their regular skipper Virat Kohli during their Asia Cup matches as it can make a difference.
India and Pakistan will play their Asia Cup match on Wednesday.
This is the first match the two sides will play since the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final clash.
"A part from Kohli, the Indian team has other good players too," Sarfraz was quoted as saying by Dawn News.
"[But], Kohli is a big player, and [his absence] could make a difference for India," he said.
"The Indian team must have done their home work," he said hoping that Rohit Sharma and his men are ready for the clash.
Rohit Sharma is leading the team in the absence of Kohli who has been rested for the tournament.
Pakistan started their Asia Cup campaign with a win against Hong Kong.
India are playing their first match of the tournament against the same opponent.
