Will Team India’s playing-11 change?

After winning the first match by a huge margin, the possibility of a major change in the winning combination of the Indian team is considered very less. Captain Suryakumar Yadav has already indicated that the current combination—two main fast bowlers, one lead spinner, three all-rounders and five batsmen—has worked well for the team.

Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India has not lost any bilateral T20 series so far, due to which the team management has confidence in the current playing-11. However, there are discussions about a possible change.

Akshar Patel’s injury may increase tension

Vice-captain and all-rounder Akshar Patel got injured in his hand while bowling in the first T20 match. After the match, his finger was seen bandaged, after which it is being speculated that the team management may rest him in the second match as a precautionary measure. If Akshar is out, then either Kuldeep Yadav or Harshit Rana may get a chance in his place in the playing eleven.
