Rishabh Pant is the obvious choice as the wicket-keeper batter in the team. However, his batting position may also depend on the match situation. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are the two all-rounders in the team. Both the players are in decent form with both the bat and ball.

There is no doubt regarding the specialist spinner in India playing XI as well. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is set to feature once again ahead of Axar Patel.
If any, the team management will have a serious look at the pace bowling unit, especially the third specialist pacer. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are going to spearhead India’s attack. It could be a toss up between Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna. The latter may be slightly ahead due to his sheer pace.
