Harshit Rana bowled brilliantly in the match against Bangladesh. He took three wickets for 31 runs in 7.4 overs. In the absence of Bumrah, the young player impressed everyone by bowling brilliantly. However, questions have also been raised on the selection of Harshit. In the match against Pakistan, the management may be seen giving a chance to Arshdeep Singh. Arshdeep has been seen showing deadly form in T20 and ODI. He can prove to be a danger bell for Pakistan.

In the spin department, India has bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel, who can also prove to be deadly with the bat when the time comes. The management is going to be tense about who to give a chance between Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakraborty. In the last match, Kuldeep gave 43 runs in 10 overs without taking any wicket. Kuldeep has a lot of experience. At the same time, Varun has played only one match so far. To strengthen the spin department against Pakistan, Team India can give a chance to Varun Chakraborty.
