#4 Bowlers: Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shardul Thakur and Yuzvendra Chahal
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who is making a comeback, after an injury layoff, will definitely like to test his fitness and get some match practice ahead of the crucial Pakistan encounter. He is most likely to be in the playing XI. However, the other speedster, Jasprit Bumrah, who had a long and gruelling English tour, might be rested in this match in order to keep him fresh and ready for the rest of the tournament. In his place, Shardul Thakur might get an opportunity in the playing XI. India's premier spinner, Kuldeep Yadav might also be rested in this match. In Kuldeep's absence, Chahal will be the lone spinner in the team, alongside all-rounder Axar Patel.
