There have been a few questions circling around what the Indian playing XI for this match might look like. While there's absolute certainty about who the top four would be, there are questions on how the lower-middle order and bowling department might shape up. How India might line up tomorrow against Pakistan will also give fans a rough indication of the team's composition for the T20 World Cup that is scheduled to be played later this year.
Skipper Rohit Sharma will open with his regular partner KL Rahul and Virat Kohli will bat at his usual position, number three.
After sensational performances in England, there's absolutely no doubt that Suryakumar Yadav will be India's number four followed by Rishabh Pant at number five. All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has rediscovered his game this year, will come in t six followed by Dinesh Karthik, who would do the finisher's job and score quick runs.
Ravindra Jadeja will be in next and that would be the potential end of India's batting order. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh will be the ones to follow. Although Singh has a high possibility of featuring in this game, one cannot rule out the chances of Avesh Khan, who has regularly played for India in recent times.
