2018 Under-19 World Cup: India's predicted playing XI against Papua New Guinea

Middle-Order

3.Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill played a key innings for India

After Shaw fell for 94, Shubman Gill walked in at Number 3 and right from the word-go, displayed a positive intent with the bat.

Early on, Gill showcased his groundstrokes, cover-driving the spin of Ashley Pope beautifully and then later on told the world he could hit the big shots as well, thereby ensuring the Indian innings did not lose the momentum set up by the openers.

He fell for 63 but not before making a big impression with his batting.

4.Himanshu Rana

The right-hander fell for a mere 14 in the opening match and also proved costly with the ball, going for 30 runs in his four overs.

He will look to put in an improved performance on Tuesday against PNG.

5.Anukul Roy

Like Rana, Roy too did not have the best of times with the bat, getting run-out for 6 runs.

However, he did make a vital contribution with the ball, dismissing the well-set Jack Edwards for 73 with his slow left-arm-spin.
