India Likely To Go With Same Playing 11 Vs Pakistan

Meanwhile, India are likely to enter the Pakistan contest with the same Playing 11 as they fielded in the match against Ireland. Even though Virat Kohli failed with the bat at the top of the order with Rohit Sharma in their opening game, Rohit and Virat are expected to continue to open. Both left-m spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel might retain their place because of their utility with the bat lower down the order.
