Team India Team News & Playing XI
Team India sprung a surprise after they included Sanju Samson and excluded Arshdeep Singh from the playing XI against the UAE. Despite not batting in his natural position, Samson will bat out of spot. Meanwhile, Shivam Dube, used as a pace-bowling option, bowled superbly. However, India are without their star pacer Arshdeep, who is also the highest wicket-taker in India’s T20I history.
India’s Playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy
