Who will get a chance in the playing eleven for today’s match?
The biggest question before today’s match is which players will Rohit Sharma include in the playing eleven. Because Hardik Pandya will not be able to play in this match due to injury, after which there will be a change in the playing eleven of the team today. It is very important for India, if we win today then the path to the semi-finals will become very easy for Team India. But at present there is a problem regarding the playing eleven of Team India.
Yesterday also during the practice session, bad news came for the team. Because Suryakumar Yadav got injured during practice, while on the other hand, Ishan Kishan got stung by a bee. After which both these players had to leave the field. If Suryakumar is fine then his playing in the playing eleven is considered almost certain. Apart from this, Mohammed Shami can be included in the playing eleven to further strengthen the bowling department.
