Shami&#39;s inclusion in the playing eleven comes after Bumrah flew back home for the birth of his son Angad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">&quot;We batted in the last game. We want to see what the bowlers have in offer for us. I don&#39;t know about the weather. We just want to have the bowlers to have a game under the belt.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">&quot;The way we batted under pressure, Hardik and Ishan batted brilliantly. Ishan showed a lot of maturity and took the game on as well. Good signs for us. It&#39;s another important game for us,&quot; said Sharma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">It is Nepal&rsquo;s first-ever ODI against India and captain Rohit Paudel said Bhim Sharki comes into the playing eleven in place of Aarif Sheikh. &quot;I think today is the biggest day for Nepal cricket, a great opportunity to showcase our skills in front of the cricket world.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">As soon as Paudel spoke, drizzle began and covers were brought on the pitch. The match also marks 250th men&rsquo;s ODI match for former India fast-bowler Javagal Srinath as a match referee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\">Srinath becomes the fourth person to reach the milestone of 250 ODIs as match referee after Ranjan Madugalle, Chris Broad and Jeff Crowe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Playing XIs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>India:<\/strong>Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Nepal:<\/strong> Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (wicketkeeper), Rohit Paudel (captain), Bhim Sharki, Sompal Kami, Gulsan Jha, Dipendra Singh Airee, Kushal Malla, Sandeep Lamichhane, Karan KC and Lalit Rajbanshi<\/p>\r\n",
