The all-important India vs Pakistan is back and the two sides will take on each other for the second time in the ongoing tournament. While this time it was Pakistan skipper Babar Azam who won the toss and opted to field first, looking with a possibility of a full game on cards.
As the two skippers were asked of the changes in their respective sides, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma called for two of them. While one came as an oblivious one with the return of Jasprit Bumrah, the second one did not go down well, seeing the World Cup ahead.
Sharma at toss confirmed that Shreyas Iyer will miss the Super Fours match against Pakistan with a back spasm, which he sustained just moments ahead of the start during the practice session. “Two changes - Bumrah is back and one forced change, Shreyas Iyer just got a back spasm so KL Rahul comes in for him,” he said at toss.
India’s Playing XI against Pakistan:
Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
