MIDDLE-ORDER and ALL-ROUNDERS
Next comes the big-hitting artillery with the names of Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, and Hardik Pandya. India has recently followed a new strategy in T20 cricket, wherein they keep the intensity going by scoring runs with a consistent pace.
With Pant playing sensible cricket and showing more intent, he will be the player to watch out for. Hardik Pandya has come a long way after the injury, and his presence in the lower middle order will be essential.
These batters can play attacking shots and provide the finishing touch to the innings. Jadeja and Pandya are also very handy with the ball, and this utility aspect makes these two players a valuable asset.

BOWLING ATTACK
Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin will likely be the spinners in this match. Both these bowlers had a suitable IPL 2022, and they would be eager to continue their good form in the upcoming India vs Pakistan encounter.
This brings us to the pace bowlers. With their proven track records Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh automatically select themselves as the pace bowlers. There are also a few other names, such as Avesh Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi. But they will only be accommodated if any of the bowlers get injured before the match.
Predicted PLAYING XI- Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.
