Ind vs Pak: Twitter Reacts As Rishabh Pant Misses Out From India's Playing XI

In Dubai, the toss is important, especially in the beginning of a tournament. Significant benefit goes to India tonight because they are bowling first.

They make it very obvious that finishing is a particular duty, and Dinesh Karthik holds his spot while Rishabh Pant loses it to Karthik in that regards. Avesh Khan was picked over R Ashwin to handle the ball.

If Pakistan had won the toss, according to Babar Azam, they would have chosen to bowl first as well.  Hasan Ali, Naseem Shah, and Shahnawaz Dahani are Pakistan’s fast bowlers. Hasan Ali and Mohammad Hasnain are not playing for Pakistan.

We Won’t Mind Experimentation: Rohit Sharma

Even though India will be without Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, they appear more composed heading into the Asia Cup. They are much more tactically aware now than they were before. However, on game day in T20 cricket, these factors can all be completely ignored. Especially when the teams play each other so infrequently.

“When there is an opportunity to try different combinations, we will try. Along the way, if we make mistakes or face difficulties, we’re okay with that. We have spoken about it as a group, and there is nothing to fear”, Rohit Sharma had said that India will keep experimenting in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup and leaving Pant out seems to be part of that experimentation.
