Easily the best T20I batsman in the business, skipper Kohli will walk in at number three irrespective of the match situation. Though Pandya was sent in at one down in the last match, the experiment didn't work out well and eventually, Kohli had to do the job for which the former was sent in.
Shreyas Iyer
The youngster from Mumbai had been knocking on the door for an India cap for more than a couple years now. Though he did make his debut in the last match, owing to a mammoth 158-run opening partnership, the likes of Dhoni and Pandya were sent ahead of him. Same can be the case in this match as well, however, if the match situation is favourable, Iyer will walk in after the fall of the second wicket.

MS Dhoni (wk)
The experienced campaigner has proved all his doubters wrong in 2017. On top of his batting, he has acted as a shield for Kohli the skipper, easing him into probably the hardest job in international cricket.
