India's Predicted XI In T20 World Cup Super 8: Anil Kumble Sees This Big Star Getting Dropped

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is already through to the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup. While India are playing all their Group Stage matches in the USA, their Super 8 matches will be played in West Indies. The pitches in West Indies are expected to be vastly different from what New York offered to India in its first three matches. The variable bounce and unsettled pitch meant that teams failed to score big on the pitch. However, in West Indies, India are expected to get pitch which resembles those that they get at home. It also means that playing with four pacers (three specialist and one allrounder) may not always be the best option. In the New York leg of the matches, India fielded three pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh.
