Varun Chakraborty will have to show strength

On a ground with small boundaries, the spin pair of Axar Patel and Varun Chakraborty will have no margin for error. Varun will have to bowl at the right length consistently after proving somewhat costly against the West Indies and South Africa. Jasprit Bumrah has been brilliant as always, but the bowlers need to perform a little better in the last five overs. It will be interesting to see how Suryakumar uses his bowlers, as Shivam Dubey has not been very successful as the sixth bowling option. Keeping Kuldeep Yadav in the team has been an attractive option, but India are unlikely to reshuffle their playing eleven.
