IND vs PAK: India playing 11 for the game against Pakistan in the ICC World Cup Prediction
IND vs PAK: India has kicked started the ICC World Cup 2023 on a high note. They thumped Australia by 6 wickets in the first game and then clobbered Netherlands in the second match by 8 wickets. Now the biggest challenge will be against Pakistan and they would be hoping to continue their winning run.
Coming to the playing XI, it’s no brainer that captain Rohit Sharma will be there at the top. The opening batter has been in the golden touch and smashes a staggering century against Afghanistan. There’s uncertainty about who will open with him in the IND vs PAK game.
Shubman Gill has been down with dengue. He has reached Ahmedabad and if he recovers ahead of the IND vs PAK game, there’s no doubt that he will open. But if he isn’t fit, Ishan Kishan will continue opening. He played a handy knock of 47 runs against Afghanistan.
At No.3, Virat Kohli will be there and with the kind of form he is in, he will be crucial for the team in the ICC World Cup 2023. Shreyas Iyer is likely to bat at No.4 and handle the middle-order batting with KL Rahul, who has been in fantastic form of late.
Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja no no-brainer will be the two all-rounders in the team for the IND vs PAK game. They have played a great role with the ball so far in the tournament and are expected to do the same in the next game as well as the tournament.
With the Ahmedabad pitch being flat, it’s unlikely that India will play R Ashwin in the team. There were also a lot of talks about them playing Shardul Thakur, who was poor with the ball. It’s expected that Mohammed Shami will make it into the team for IND vs PAK game.
Kuldeep Yadav along with Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah will be three frontline bowlers in the team. The trio did a terrific job in the last two games and would be eager to continue their good run.
