How will India play against Pakistan?

Local dancers and drummers greeted the team at the airport and created a festive scene. Arshdeep Singh grabbed attention with his drum dance which, as expected, soon went viral on social media. Head coach Gautam Gambhir looked serious and focused.India will be hoping to dominate Pakistan on the field. Players like Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma and either Abhishek Sharma or Sanju Samson are expected to play key roles with the bat. Abhishek is recovering from illness and will be looking to bounce back after a poor start in India’s tournament opener.Arshdeep and Hardik have strong records against Pakistan in the past and Ishan Kishan is in good form. Tilak Varma performed well against Pakistan in the last Asia Cup final and will look to continue that success.With pitches in Sri Lanka usually helping the spinners, Varun Chakravarthy could be an important bowler for India in this match.
