While Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav has been in fine form, KL Rahul has not delivered yet and his role in the team is questioned more often. But with Rahul Dravid denying any chances of change at the top, India is most likely to go with the unchanged top five of KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya. Dinesh Karthik, who walked off the field with a back injury last game is likely to be replaced by Rishabh Pant. Deepak Hooda, who played in the last game as a counter to the left hander heavy middle order of South Africa is all set to make way for Axar Patel’s return in the XI.
