Shreyas Iyer is the first player on this list. Iyer is the middle-order batsman for India. However, India has many powerful options in the middle order like Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya. Moreover, in recent times, Iyer has not been able to mark in the T20Is. Hence, there is a chance that Iyer can be dropped from playing XI in the India vs Pakistan match.

Dinesh Karthik is another player on this list. Karthik is a powerful lower-order batsman and is also expected to be part of the India squad in Asia Cup 2022. However, India already has two lower-order batsmen in the form of Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja. Since Pandya and Jadeja can also bowl as they are all-rounders, they might be picked against Dinesh Karthik in India vs Pakistan clash.

Harshal Patel is another player on this list. Patel is highly expected to be part of India squad in Asia Cup 2022 as one of the pacers. However, India might go ahead with their top trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami in the match against Pakistan. Moreover, Hardik Pandya will also be another choice of the pacer in the match. Hence, Harshal Patel might warm the bench in India vs Pakistan encounter.
