The Indian cricket team has to play its next match against Pakistan in the World Cup. This match is very important for Team India. Team India will want to win this match at any cost. The Indian team will not want to lose to Pakistan and that too at home. So far, the Indian team has not lost to Pakistan in the ODI World Cup. Rohit will want to maintain this record in his captaincy as well and to win this match, Rohit will have to take some tough decisions regarding the playing-11.
Mohammad Siraj has become an important bowler of the Indian team. He has impressed a lot with his bowling. He has also been the No. 1 bowler in the ODI rankings. But Siraj may have to sit out against Pakistan. In his place, Rohit can give chance to Mohammed Shami in playing-11. There are many reasons behind this.
Shami’s Ahmedabad experience
Shami used to play for Gujarat Titans in IPL. He is the main bowler of this team. This match between India and Pakistan is to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and it is the home ground of Gujarat. So Shami has a lot of experience of the pitch here which can be useful in stopping the Pakistan batsmen. Shami knows how to bowl on this pitch and he could have troubled the Pakistani batsmen on this pitch. Therefore, Rohit will try to include Shami in the playing-11.
Bad form of Siraj
Rohit will play Shami against Pakistan as he has bowling experience here but he will play Shami instead of Siraj, why? The reason for this is Siraj’s performance in recent matches. Siraj bowled brilliantly in the final of the Asia Cup-2023 and took six wickets against Sri Lanka. But since then Siraj’s performance graph has fallen down. After that match, he could take only one wicket in three matches. Not only this, their economy has also been very bad and they have given away a lot of runs. Seeing this, Rohit can give Shami a chance by removing Siraj from the playing-11.
