The Playing XI near Hardik and coach Rahul Dravid:-
Captain Hardik and coach Rahul Dravid have a day to sort out the combination before finalizing the playing XI.
After the poor performance of Arshdeep Singh and Shubman Gill, it remains to be seen whether Rahul Dravid and Hardik Pandya find place in the team or not.
Harshal Patel and Ruturaj Gaikwad are still waiting to make a place in the team and India can try to feed the pair in place of Arshdeep and Gill. The other big concern for India is the form of Yuzvendra Chahal.
The leg-spinner took only one wicket in two matches:-
