The match will be played between India and Pakistan on Sunday. There may be a change in Team India’s playing eleven for this match, which will be played in Colombo. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah could return to the playing XI. Bumrah had returned to India from Sri Lanka for personal reasons. For this reason, he did not play in the game against Nepal. But now he could return. India can also give Akshar Patel a chance.
In fact, Bumrah’s wife Sanjana Ganesan recently gave birth to a child. Because of this, Bumrah returned to India. He could not take part in the India-Nepal match. Bumrah is an important bowler for Team India. He played in the first India-Pakistan match of the 2023 Asia Cup. However, this match could not be completed due to rain. With Bumrah’s return, there could be more changes in Team India’s playing XI.
Team India can include Axar Patel in the playing XI. Apart from bowling, Akshar also bats well. If Akshar gets a place in the playing XI, Shardul Thakur can be given a break. Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj can be important parts of the Indian bowling attack against Pakistan. Hardik Pandya also bowls quickly. He is an all-rounder. Therefore, there can be three fast bowlers and two spin bowlers in India’s playing XI. India’s first spinner will be Kuldeep Yadav. The other weirdo could be Akshar Patel.
We would like to inform you that there is a reserve day for the match between India and Pakistan. If the game is canceled due to rain, it will be played on the reserve day. Interestingly, no reserve day was scheduled for any Super Four game.
