Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to field first against the archrivals Pakistan.
Babar Azam too anticipated for a fielding innings but the greens are forced to bat infront the top pacers of India.
Talking about the playing XI, Ravichandran Ashwin is a surprising inclusion by team India as there is no place for Chahal. Dinesh Karthik is the preferred wicket-keeper for today’s game as Rishabh Pant is benched once again.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shami, and Arshdeep Singh are the top pacers for the blues which will be competing the Pakistani bowling unit, which includes Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah.
WE ARE READY! 👍 👍
Just a few minutes away from LIVE action! 👏 👏
