Asia Cup: Bumrah And Varun Return As India Elect To Bowl First Against Pakistan
Asia Cup Super Fours: Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy are back for India as captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to bowl first against Pakistan in a high-stakes Asia Cup Super Fours game at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Sunday.
The two teams had last met in a Group A game at the same venue last week, where India emerged victorious by seven wickets. However, the aftermath drew headlines as no one from the Indian team shook hands with their Pakistani counterparts, a gesture that sparked discontent within the latter, and they almost pulled out of the eight-team competition.
After winning the toss, Suryakumar said Bumrah and Chakaravarthy come into the playing eleven in place of Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. It also means Axar Patel is fit to play in Sunday’s game after suffering a head injury while fielding in their final Group A game against Oman in Abu Dhabi.
