India Predicted XI vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2022: Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda Or Axar Patel -- Who Will Replace Injured Ravindra Jadeja?

India were handed a major blow ahead of the crucial Asia Cup Super 4 match against Pakistan with star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a knee injury. The southpaw had played a crucial knock in the group stage encounter against Pakistan, and will be a big miss for India in Sunday's clash at the Dubai International Stadium. Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin and Deepak Hooda are the other spin-bowling all-rounders in India's squad, while Ravi Bishnoi is also an option as a pure spinner.

Another worry for India is pacer Avesh Khan coming down with fever on the eve of the match, casting doubts on his involvement in the match. Replacing the two will be the biggest problem for the Indian team management to solve ahead of the big match against their arch-rivals. With no other pacer in the squad, apart from the ones who have already been playing, India will likely have to switch to a more spin-heavy bowling attack against Pakistan.

Rohit Sharma: The India captain did not have a great outing with the bat against Pakistan in the group stage, but looked in aggressive mood against Hong Kong, hitting 21 off 13. However, he could not convert his start and India will be looking for a bigger contribution from the experienced opener.

KL Rahul: While Rahul fell for a duck against Pakistan, he came under more criticism for his 39-ball 36 against Hong Kong. But India are likely to stick with him as he is returning from a long injury break and they will want him to find his rhythm sooner rather than later.

Virat Kohli: The former skipper has been India's highest run-scorer in the Asia Cup so far, with knocks of 35 and 59*. Returning after a month-long sabbatical, Kohli has looked a little scratchy, but
