The blues will aim to raise the bar and force the hosts to lose another game after convincingly dominating the first T20I. Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, appears to lead from the front as both his on-field leadership and his bat speak volumes about his all-around play. Team India will be once again seen experimenting some tactical changes to their side as Rohit Sharma confirmed the fact in the previous match. “We want to try certain things when we bat in the first six overs, when we bat in the middle overs, and how we finish off the games. So, there are three facets of the game we want to try to improve, and how we can get the best out of each player.” – Rohit Sharma after the first T20I win.
It will be exciting to watch Suryakumar be provided with yet another chance to open the innings, along with Rohit Sharma. Deepak Hooda can be a preferred choice in place of Shreyas Iyer. Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, and Dinesh Karthik seem to have locked their places in the middle order while few changes can be made in the bowling department. Jadeja is just one wicket away from bagging 50 T20I wickets. Ravichandran Ashwin’s brilliant spell of 2 wickets in 4 overs releases no question about replacing him. It will be exciting to form a trio of spinners by adding Ravi Bishnoi to the experienced duo. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is playing extremely well to be benched. Assisting him shall be India’s new face Arshdeep Singh who is being constantly well in the blues.
India’s probable XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh.
India’s squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Axar Patel, Deepak Hooda, Avesh Khan, Ishan Kishan, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson
