- Indian team performed badly in the last series however they are a good team so expect a good performance from them.
- All of Shikhar Dhawan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya are back and are set to play this game.
- Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan will open the inning while Virat Kohli will bat at no. 3. All the 3 are technically strong batsmen. Prithvi bats in attacking manner and was in very good form in the domestic circuit however his over attacking nature is the main reason for his downfall in the international matches. Shikhar Dhawan is a consistent performer and has a good record in this format. Dhawan scored 2 half-centuries in the last 2 innings.
- Virat Kohli is rated as the best batsman of this time and is a consistent performer. He generally scores big however his recent form is not that much good.
- Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul will bat at 4 and 5 respectively while Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja will do late hitting duty. Both Iyer and KL Rahul are in terrific form. Iyer is the player who can play in both manners i.e in attacking manner as well as can rotate the strikes and is a consistent performer with the bat, he scored 1 century and 2 half-centuries in the last 3 games. KL Rahul is an attacking batsman and is scoring heavily from last 1 year, he is averaging above 50 in this format from last 1 year.
- Hardik Pandya is one of the top hitters of the ball.
- J Bumrah will lead the pace attack along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Navdeep Saini. Bumrah is the best Indian bowler and is a genuine wicket-taker but he flopped badly in the last series and is struggling to get his rhythm back after his return from the injury. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is also a good bowler and is known for his swing and line-length, he is returning after a long injury.
- Navdeep Saini has good pace and variations.
