India are unexpected to make any changes to their playing XI after a near-perfect display in the first game of the series. Shikhar Dhawan will open the batting alongside Shubman Gill after their 192-run stand in the previous match.

Stand-in skipper KL Rahul will come in a number 3 in the team while Ishan Kishan is expected to keep his spot at number four. Deepak Hooda, who has been impressive in his short spell with the national team, will come in next while Sanju Samson is expected to keep the wickets once again.

Axar Patel will be the team's premier all-rounder and the other spinner alongside chinaman Kuldeep Yadav. Mohammad Siraj will lead the pace attack and will be supported by Prasidh Krishna and Deepak Chahar.
