IND vs PAK: In the match against Bangladesh, Team India got the necessary win by 6 wickets but it was seen that batting did not look easy at all later. Due to this, at one time Team India was also looking in trouble, but Shubman Gill’s unbeaten century and KL Rahul’s innings gave India the victory. However, India’s captain Rohit Sharma will have to be smart if he wins the toss against Pakistan and decide to bat first.

Reason for this is that

The main reason for this is that if Pakistan bats first and scores a big score, then it will not be easy to reach it later when the pitch slows down, and the pressure of a big score is also immense. In the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy, we saw how Team India collapsed while chasing a big target. In such a situation, Rohit should win the toss and choose to bat first and put Mohammad Rizwan’s team under pressure by scoring a big score.

India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami
