Harbhajan Singh: After practise and the warm-up games are through, Team India’s attention turns to their inaugural encounter versus Pakistan, which will be contested in Melbourne on Sunday, October 23. When these two teams last met, it was in the Super 4 round of the 2022 Asia Cup, where Pakistan defeated India despite India winning the group stage match. The T20 World Cup match’s stakes are high, and former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has named his starting lineup for the match between India and Pakistan.
While choosing his team for the India vs. Pakistan match, Harbhajan Singh had to make several difficult decisions, including significant exclusions. The former off-spinner selected his starting lineup for the match against Pakistan, leaving out Ravichandran Ashwin and Harshal Patel.
He said, “I feel the team is straightforward. I feel Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik and Axar Patel will be in the team. Yuzi Chahal will play along with them. After that Arshdeep Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Shami,”. He added, ” This is my choice. Harshal Patel might not get a chance. I feel Deepak Hooda and R Ashwin will not get a chance in the first few games. I am seeing this as the starting XI.”

The T20 World Cup campaign for both countries will begin with the India vs. Pakistan match on October 23. India last won the competition in 2007, and Rohit Sharma will be anxious to follow MS Dhoni’s accomplishment in the most recent international tournament in Australia.
