India:
India won the first-ever T20I World Cup but struggled in the remaining editions of the tournament. They are currently at the 2nd position on the ICC T20I rankings.
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will open the innings for the team. Rahul is brilliant form as he was the third-highest run-scorer in IPL. Skipper Virat Kohli will play at his usual spot No.3. In the middle-order, Surya Kumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant will play a crucial role. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja will play the role of finishers.
India has a good number of bowling options, and it is tough to choose among them. Bumrah, Shardul, and anyone among Bhuvneshwar or Shami are expected to play in the first match. Jadeja and Varun Chakravarthy will handle the spin department.

At No.3, Fakhar Zaman is in good form, and the middle-order will be handled by the two experienced players, Mohammed Hafeez and Shoaib Malik.
