The great match between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) will be played in Dubai on 23 February as per Indian time. It will be interesting to see what kind of final 11 coach Gambhir and captain Rohit field for Team India in this match. Because there is a different pressure in the match against Pakistan. In such a situation, what could be the possible playing 11 of Team India? Let us know…
Team India’s playing eleven in IND vs PAK match
If we talk about the opening batsman in Team India’s playing eleven in India vs Pakistan (IND vs PAK) match, then this responsibility will be on the shoulders of Shubman Gill along with Rohit Sharma. Because this pair is very brilliant. Also, they are in great form. It is known that Gill has scored 259 runs with 1 century at an average of 86 in the ODI series against England. Apart from him, Rohit Sharma is also in good form. In such a situation, there will be no change in the opening pair. Apart from him, Virat Kohli is fixed to come at number 3. There is no scope for any change in the top three against Pakistan.
If Shreyas Iyer makes a place in the middle order, then these players will be out
In this mega match between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK), Shreyas Iyer’s place in the middle order of Team India is also confirmed. He is in very good form at the moment. In such a situation, the management would not want to tamper with him in any way. Apart from him, KL Rahul is Gambhir’s first choice as a wicketkeeper and the coach himself has also clarified this.
His dominance was also seen in the final eleven against England. Rishabh Pant was not included in even one match in this entire series and only KL Rahul was seen playing. In such a situation, his place is confirmed against Pakistan as well. At the same time, Hardik Pandya’s place is confirmed as an all-rounder. He will be the third choice for fast bowling. He can also be an option for batting at number 6 and 7. Axar Patel can also be seen as a batting all-rounder.
Washington Sundar and Chakraborty are sure to be dropped
It is known that Akshar has recently impressed everyone by batting at number 5. This is the reason why the team management will also give him importance in the match between India vs Pakistan (IND vs PAK). Apart from Akshar, Ravindra Jadeja is sure to get a chance. Recently he has taken 6 wickets in 2 matches against England and is also contributing a little with the bat. After such a performance, it is difficult for anyone else to replace him.
But with Jadeja getting a chance, Washington Sundar will have to sit on the bench. Kuldeep Yadav has also failed to make an impact as the main spinner. But considering his experience and performance in ODIs, the management would like to go with him, in such a situation Varun Chakraborty may also have to sit out against Pakistan.
Shami will also be out!
If we talk about Team India’s bowling in the high voltage match of India vs Pakistan (IND vs PAK), then it seems difficult for Mohammad Shami to get a chance in the playing eleven. Because he is not in form at the moment. Rohit-Gambhir, Arshdeep Singh, and Harshit Rana can be selected in his place. Let us tell you that Harshit Rana has recently taken 6 wickets in three matches. This is the reason why Harshit can get preference over Shami.
Probable playing XI of Team India in IND vs PAK match
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana.
