Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the high-voltage match between India and Pakistan. Everyone is excited to know which players will be in Team India’s playing XI. Let’s take a look at the possible squad for this big game.
The Big Clash is Here!
The much-awaited match between India and Pakistan is finally happening. On February 23, both teams will face each other in the Champions Trophy at Dubai. Will Rohit, Virat, or Shubman smash big runs? Will Shami and Rana destroy Pakistan’s batting lineup with their deadly bowling? Or will Jadeja and Axar’s spin work wonders? Only time will tell. But before that, let’s check out India’s possible playing XI for this important match.
Rohit-Gill to Open, Kohli at Number 3
Captain Rohit Sharma and young star Shubman Gill are likely to open the innings. Gill recently scored an unbeaten century against Bangladesh, while Rohit played a solid knock of 41 runs. At number three, Virat Kohli is expected to take charge. He has an outstanding record against Pakistan. Following him, Shreyas Iyer is likely to bat at number four.
Strong Middle Order
Axar Patel, who batted higher in the order against Bangladesh, may continue at number five. Wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul is expected to play at number six. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja will provide strength to both batting and bowling. As all-rounders, they bring balance to the team.
Shami and Rana to Lead Fast Bowling Attack
In the last match against Bangladesh, pacers Harshit Rana and Mohammed Shami bowled exceptionally well. Shami took five wickets, while Rana picked up three. Both are expected to lead the pace attack against Pakistan. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav, who bowled economically in the previous game, is likely to handle the spin department.

Rohit Sharma (Captain)
Shubman Gill (Vice-Captain)
