Also, the Men in Blue would not want to tamper with their combination, which has been such a huge success so far in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Having said that, here's what India's playing XI might look like against the Netherlands.
Top-order: Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have enjoyed batting together in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 and India would want to continue having them open the innings.

All-Rounders: Much like the previous matches, Ravindra Jadeja will feature as the sole all-rounder in the match for Team India. He has had the opportunity to bat in the past few matches whilst being sensational with the ball. Expect another power-packed performance from the star all-rounder.
Bowlers: The trio of Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah have been phenomenal and will form Team India's fast bowling attack against the Netherlands. Should the team management decide to rest any of the three, Prasidh Krishna is likely to come into India's playing XI.
