Team India completed their first training session at the MCG on Friday. There have been a lot of speculations on playing XI for team India. It all started off with the wicket-keeper batsmen.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma has picked Dinesh Karthik over Rishabh Pant. The reason to pick Karthik over Pant is that Karthik has given the coaching staff and management surety as a finisher. Rishabh Pant has not really proven to be the best at the Number 5 spot when it comes to tight situations. Off late, Dinesh Karthik has been a great asset to the Indian batting line-up. He has started to establish himself as the finisher for Team India, with a strike rate of about 150.
In terms of the bowling attack, Rohit Sharma mentioned the loss of Jasprit Bumrah and the need for an experienced bowler to take charge in the death overs. The Indian bowling line-up comes with just two highly experienced bowlers; Mohammed Shami and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar. The Australian weather conditions seem to favour the seamers, which brings us to the spin bowling of Team India.
There has been a lot of talk about who should join Axar Patel with the spin bowling. Chahal and Ashwin are both very different bowlers. Ashwin is someone who has all the tricks up his sleeve to deceive a batsman, whereas Chahal is the new-day Shane Warne. For the match against Pakistan, Chahal should be the perfect fit. He has been in sublime form this year, picking up 21 wickets at an economy of about 7.5. Chahal has proved his worth for India in the middle over.
