Good performance is expected from Kohli
In this match, India is once again expecting a strong performance from Rohit Sharma. His bat roared against Australia. He smashed Starc and Pat Cummins by playing a stormy innings of 92 runs.

So far in the current tournament, he has been able to score only 66 runs. In this situation, Yashasvi Jaiswal may have to sit out once again. He has not been made a part of the playing 11 so far.
Eye on Surya

Bowlers will wreak havoc
Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav are sure to be in the spin department. All three bowlers have left a special impact on the West Indies pitches with their lethal bowling. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen handling the responsibility of the fast bowling attack. Arshdeep Singh will be seen supporting him. Hardik Pandya will also be seen bowling his share of four overs.
