And Avesh makes it as the third seamer. This is an important game for us, but as cricketers, we don't want to think about the opposition, we just want to correct whatever mistakes we are doing. We are bowling first."Speaking at the time of toss, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, We would have also been bowling first, but this is not in our hands. We will look to make a big score and see.

We are trying to give it our best."India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Dinesh Karthik(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh.Pakistan (Playing XI): Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf and Shahnawaz Dahani.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
