Rohit Sharma will be opening with Ishan Kishan is the 1st ODI since Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan and Ruturaj Gaikwad are in quarantine. With KL Rahul not available for the 1st ODI, Suryakumar Yadav is likely to play at number 5. There is a good chance both Deepak Hooda and Washington Sundar might play in the first game. 

Deepak Chahar is likely to take the new ball. Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna will accompany him in the pace attack. Yuzvendra Chahal will be the specialist spinner.
