The Indian cricket team was dealt a shock on Sunday as it lost to Pakistan in a thriller at the Asia Cup. The Rohit Sharma-led Team India failed to defend a 181-run total. With the defeat, India now face a pressure situation in their next matches against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. After the five-wicket loss, former Pakistan cricket team pacer Shoaib Akhtar pointed out some flaws in India's game-plan against Pakistan. "India must decide which final XI to select. What is your future? Is it Rishabh Pant? Dinesh Karthik? Hooda? Bishnoi? What is your final XI? Find your final XI at least first. The selection looks confused. I don't understand, why is the selection so confused," Akhtar said in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel.
