Ishan Kishan will be coming out to open alongside the Indian stand-in captain at the top while they also have Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill among the opening options. The in-form Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shreyas Iyer are likely to handle the middle-order responsibilities, with Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur as the all-rounders. Prasidh and Siraj are likely to be the main pacers in the eleven.
