Two wicket-keepers in the team, not with the match-winner’s team; India announced the team
India has announced the playing eleven for the second match of the Asia Cup. The team has been announced without the inclusion of Hardik Pandya, India’s winning architect in the last match.
Rishabh Pant has been included in the team instead of Hardik. Dinesh Karthik is also in the playing eleven. Pantam will be strong behind the wicket in a match where two wicketkeeper batsmen are on the field.
Rohit and Rahul will open the innings themselves. Virat is one down and Suryakumar Yadav is coming to the crease at fourth.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the pace line. Apart from the experienced Bhubaneswar, the pace attack will be spearheaded by youngsters Josh Khan and Arshdeep Singh.
Chahal and Jadeja are coming out to spin Hong Kong, but India will be without a sixth bowler.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong have elected to bowl after winning the toss. Hong Kong is trying to restrict India to a small score on a pitch that supports both pace and spin.
Hong Kong won the toss and chose to bowl first. @ACCMedia1 #INDvHK#HongKong #HK #Cricket #CHK #HKCricket #CricketHK #HKTeam #teamhk #T20 #asiancricketcouncil #ACC #AsiaCup2022 #GetReadyForEpic pic.twitter.com/SxfdKe6TIy
