Deepak Hooda Set for Debut: With Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel not part of the team or not available – Deepak Hooda is set to make his DEBUT for India.
Hooda has been part of the Indian squad on two previous occasions but has never made his debut. Sunday is likely to be his BIG-DAY. An IPL veteran, Hooda’s ability to chip in with overs will be an asset with India having a dearth of part-time bowling options in the set-up.
Virat Kohli to play under Rohit: The big highlight of the 1st ODI would be Kohli in XI purely as a batsman. With captaincy burden gone, fans will expect fireworks from Kohli.
Kohli hasn’t scored a century since the West Indies toured India back in 2019 and the 33-year-old will be itching together record straight.
Indian Bowling Line UP Mohammed Siraj will lead the Indian bowling attack with Prasidh Krishna likely to be his bowling partner.
