There is no doubt that Team India (IND vs PAK) would like to bet on victory in Dubai and for this the selection of the playing XI will be important. Talking about the Indian probable playing XI, vice-captain KL Rahul can open the innings against Pakistan along with captain Rohit Sharma. Virat Kohli will be at number three, while Suryakumar Yadav will bat at number four. As a wicketkeeper in the team, there can be one between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik. Hardik Pandya can get a chance for Ravindra Jadeja as two all-rounders in the team. Yuzvendra Singh Chahal can be in the team as spinner while Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan can be given a chance in the team as three fast bowlers.
Although the Pakistan Cricket Board has included young pacer Mohammad Hasnain as a replacement for Shaheen, will he get a place in such a big match despite less experience? This is a big question. The answer is that he is most likely to make it to the playing XI as he has come back to improve his action in recent times and is bowling in good rhythm. Hasnain has good pace and also gets bounce. Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah will be fielded to support him. Pakistans top order is fixed, with captain Babar Azam, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and veteran batsman Fakhar Zaman in the top 3. On the other hand, spin all-rounder Shadab Khan will be the main spinner of the team. To support them, the team can field leg-left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz as Indias top-order has not been comfortable even against left-arm spinners. Apart from Asif Ali, Haider Ali or Khushdil Shah can be given a chance as a power hitter.
