IND vs PAK | Only a few hours are left for the start of the Asia Cup T20 tournament between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) to be held on Super Sunday. The eyes of the world are on this great match between the two teams to be held at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. Before the match, many current and former players are giving their opinion about India's possible playing XI. In such a situation, Team India's reliable batsman Cheteshwar Pujara has also selected India's playing XI before this match against Pakistan.

Pujara has dropped one of the two wicket-keeper batsmen - Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik - from his playing XI. Let us know which wicketkeeper Mr. Trustworthy Pujara has shown the way out.

Cheteshwar Pujara told ESPNcricinfo T20 Timeout that it would be impossible to include both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik in India's playing XI. He said that the top order includes KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav followed by Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja. So there is only room left for either Pant or Karthik. After this Pujara has dropped Karthik from his playing XI.

The Indian batsman said, "It is a big headache for the team management as both (Pant and Karthik) are doing really well in the T20 format. But you have to decide whether you want someone to bat at number five or you want a finisher who can bat at number six or seventh.

Cheteshwar Pujara's Indian playing XI for the high-voltage match against Pakistan: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.
