DUBAI, Sept 3:
The famed top-order would be desperate for a course correction while the bowling attack could be rejigged as India aim for a ‘Sunday Encore’ against Pakistan in an Asia Cup ‘Super 4s’ clash.
If top-order’s Powerplay philosophy is a problem, the inexperience of Avesh Khan at the death is no less a worry as the team management may need to revamp the bowling attack against a strong Pakistan side which is coming into the game after demolishing Hong Kong by more than 150 runs.
With no Ravindra Jadeja available in this game, Axar Patel seems a straightaway replacement but the team combination does take a hit in the absence of Saurashtra all-rounder.
In the last game against Pakistan, head coach Rahul Dravid promoted Jadeja to number four to keep the left-right combination going in the top six as Rishabh Pant was dropped from the playing XI. (PTI)
