India has one selection call to make in the crucial semifinals. The team management is clear in thoughts but there are speculations that Rishabh Pant might be given a chance in the semifinals as well as he can deal with the spinners Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid and also give the left combination the team is looking for. Team India did promote Axar Patel up the order but it didn’t yield the required results. We have to wait and see how the team combination would be.
Possible playing XI: Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant/Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami.
On the other side, England is foreseeing the fitness issues of Dawid Malan and Mark Wood. Buttler has revealed that the management will give time till today morning for them to get fit. If it doesn’t happen Phil Salt and Chris Jordan are the likely replacements.
