IND VS PAK T20 World Cup: Abhishek Sharma Makes Comeback, Kuldeep Yadav Replaces Arshdeep Singh - Check Records Vs Pakistan
India have made two changes to their playing XI for the game against arch-rivals Pakistan in Colombo. The Men in Blue welcomed back Abhishek Sharma following his illness while Kuldeep Yadav replaced Arshdeep Singh on a spin friendly wicket.
Defending champions India have brought back fit-again Abhishek Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav in place of Sanju Samson and Arshdeep Singh for the crunch clash. Abhishek had been hospitalised in New Delhi due to stomach infection and missed the clash against Namibia due to his recovery from it.
“We were looking to bat first. We've seen the results here, and we've batted in the last two games and won both the games defending, so we don't want to change anything. Two changes. Abhishek Sharma comes in and Kuldeep Yadav comes in for Arshdeep Singh.,” said India captain Suryakumar Yadav.
