One of the top practitioners of swing-bowling in world cricket, Bhuvneswar Kumar will lead the line for India yet again. Equally adept at bowling in the powerplay, as well as in the death, Bhuvi is a crucial part of the Indian bowling set-up in both the limited overs formats.

Mohammed Siraj
Completing the pace-battery for India will be the new-entrant Mohammed Siraj, replacing the now-retired Ashish Nehra.

If the team management decides to go with the same composition as the last match, the youngster will definitely make his debut.
