Can Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh catch up with India at Asia Cup?

The hierarchy of the Asian cricket order is like the solar system. India is at the centre of the universe, shining invincibly and the rest revolving around it like distant planets, several light years away.
The universe was once different. In a not-too-distant past, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka were on equal groundings. Between them, they claimed three of the first five T20 World Cups. Twice they decided the finals between themselves. All three had flourishing global T20 leagues, only two have survived the test of times, and one has emerged as the undisputed marvel of the world’s cricketing glitterati.
