Wicketkeeper and all-rounder (MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav)
Bearing in mind MS Dhoni's immense experience and indispensable leadership, there is absolutely no chance that he is going to be kept out from the starting lineup unless the 37-year-old veteran is deemed unfit.
As for Kedar Jadhav, he looked excellent in both the Asia Cup matches, chalking up a vital 28 versus Hong Kong and dismantling Pakistan's middle order via 3 crucial wickets.
India have also been dealt a huge blow with Hardik Pandya's unfortunate injury in the last match. It will be interesting to see who gets a chance at his pace in the playing XI.
