Top-order: Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Kane Williamson

The opening pair of Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha was instrumental in providing confidence to the team in the powerplay overs. Both players are likely to be donning the same role in the 2023 edition. The New Zealand white-ball skipper, Kane Williamson can bat at the number three slot and replace Matthew Wade.
