Rohit Sharma is not averse to playing three spinners against Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium ground with big square boundaries. But, on the eve of the blockbuster Cricket World Cup 2023 face-off, the Indian cricket team captain was in two minds over whether to continue with Shardul Thakur or bring in his senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.

And the guys have been informed very well in advance about these kind of changes. So, I don't think it's going to be any issues with the players.
