India, a tough team, appears to be approaching a state of balance. However, once the dust settles, a few of the remaining questions cast a shadow of doubt over their squad’s final composition. The return of India’s seasoned veterans adds another layer of expertise to the equation as they attempt to put together an XI that closely resembles their World Cup aspirations.

Washington Sundar, who replaced the previous game’s standout performer, Ravichandran Ashwin, moves in to fill his shoes.
