– Virat Kohli and Babar Azam looks safest C/VC choices considering their good numbers at venue and H2H matches (T20 & ODIs).
– Lokesh Rahul and Rishabh Pant will be must picks as they have averaged 38 & 67 respectively in more than 10 innings at this venue.
– Dropped Rohit Sharma as he doesn’t have promising numbers nor at venue neither in H2H matches.
– Shoaib Malik might be a decent credit saver pick considering his experience to play enough cricket against India and at this venue.
– Can take anyone from Shadab Khan or Imad Wasim at the place of Hasan Ali if Pakistan bats first.
– Shardul Thakur might be another good pick if he gets included in XIs of this match at the place of Bhuvneshwar.

– Mohammad Rizwan might be another good pick from WK section especially while batting first.
