Absence of top pacers has become a talking point leading up to today's gameLike it happens before and after India-Pakistan matches these days, one tweet has triggered a major debate.

Sad we won't be seeing him."
TOI attempts a combined XI of the sub-continental giants for the shortest format...Rohit Sharma: The best limited-overs opener in the world for a while, Rohit walks into any T20 dream team. Combination of silken touch and ability to explode. Babar Azam: Among the top five batters in the world. His game has different gears and he can adapt to any situation.
India captain Rohit Sharma has a reputation of coming up with funny responses in press conferences and has often left the room in splits with his quick wit. On the eve of India's Asia Cup 2022 clash against arch-rivals Pakistan, Rohit attended a press conference and was asked about India's opening combination for the much awaited clash. In recent times, India have experimented with the likes of Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav at the top of the order, while Virat Kohli has in the past opened with Rohit Sharma.
The Asia Cup 2022 got underway on Saturday and it was Afghanistan who emerged triumphant against Sri Lanka in the Group B clash. But all eyes would be on contest between India and Pakistan in Group A on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Both India and Pakistan are without their star pacers -- Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has said that India will miss Bumrah and him not being a part of the lineup will be a respite for other teams.
England captain Ben Stokes said his team had set a "benchmark" after overpowering South Africa by an innings and 85 runs in the second Test at Old Trafford on Saturday to level the series.
West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell, who is known for his powerful hitting, proved his worth once again on Saturday. During the clash against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Trinbago Knight Riders' Russell smashed 72 runs off 24 balls in their 6IXTY tournament clash, helping his side claim a three-run victory. The main highlight of the night was when the Caribbean all-rounder smashed six sixes in a row and completely turned the tide of the game into TKR's favour. Put to bat first, TKR made the most out of the given opportunity and left no stone unturned to put up a big score on the board.
