IND vs PAK: India's Predicted XI
Rohit Sharma
Shaheen Afridi's impressive bowling made it hard for the Indian captain to make a mark in their most recent game. Still, he got back on track in the next game against Nepal. He scored 74 runs without getting out and helped Team India win by 10 wickets. Rohit Sharma's main goal right now is to play better against Pakistan, especially when facing Shaheen Afridi.

Shubman Gill
In the first game against Pakistan, the developing opening batsman encountered clear difficulties and was eventually removed for just 10 runs. In the ensuing game against Nepal, he impressively recovered, scoring an undefeated innings of 67 runs. As he attempts to provide Team India a solid start in their next match against Pakistan, Shubman Gill's job suddenly becomes important.
Virat Kohli
After a brief setback, the superstar Indian batsman is gradually rediscovering his form. He suffered a setback in the previous game, losing to Shaheen Afridi's bowling for only four runs. He must once again demonstrate his superior batting skills in order to give Team India a competitive edge in the forthcoming encounter against Pakistan.

Ishan Kishan
The up-and-coming wicketkeeper-batsman has emerged as a standout performer for Team India, making a significant impact with his 82-run performance against Pakistan. His outstanding performance contributed to India's impressive 266-run total. In the absence of KL Rahul, he has deftly assumed the duty of wicketkeeper, demonstrating his versatility and team value.

Shreyas Iyer
In the previous match against Pakistan, the 28-year-old batsman was out for 14 runs. Unfortunately, he did not bat against Nepal. However, given his experience and ability as a right-handed batter, it is anticipated that he will be included in the lineup for the impending match against Pakistan.
Hardik Pandya
The Indian vice-captain's amazing play in the game against Pakistan won him a lot of praise. This versatile all-rounder teamed up with Ishan Kishan to make a strong combination. He scored an impressive 87 runs with the bat. He also showed off his bowling skills by getting one wicket in the game against Nepal.
Ravindra Jadeja
Having such an individual on the team makes a big difference in how well-balanced it is. Jadeja is a great bowler, especially on tracks that turn, in addition to being a key batsman. In the previous game against Nepal, Jadeja showed how good he was at bowling by getting three wickets. In the game against Pakistan, he also helped out with the bat by scoring 14 runs.
Kuldeep Yadav
In the match against Nepal, the left-arm wrist spinner gave up 34 runs in 10 overs without getting any wickets. He will definitely want to do better in the next game.
Jasprit Bumrah
The star fast bowler missed the game against Nepal because he went to Mumbai to be there when his son was born. But he thought he would be back on the field for the game against Pakistan because his speed is so important to the team.
Mohammed Siraj
The fast bowler, who was 29 years old, impressed everyone with his speed and a notable three-wicket haul. His showing was really good, and he wants to do the same thing in the next match.
Mohammed Shami
Shardul Thakur was picked instead of the experienced fast bowler, who was left on the bench for the first game. But he came back in the next game, which was against Nepal after Bumrah left. He was able to take one wicket, and there are high hopes that he will do better in the next match.
