1/7

Openers

Ishan Kishan continued his brilliant form from the IPL 2022 into international cricket. In the first game, he was India's highest run-scorer while his partner Ruturaj Gaikwad will look to get back in touch as he struggled in the first game.

2/7

Number 3

Shreyas Iyer looked in good form in the first game but could not convert it into a big innings.

3/7

Spin all-rounder

Axar was hammered for plenty of runs in his full quota of four overs in the first game. However, it is highly unlikely that Pant will replace him as the pitch in Cuttak is suitable for spinners.

4/7

Spin-duo

India is likely to play two spinners in the next game as the pitch will support the spinners a bit. Ravi Bishnoi is likely to replace pacer Avesh Khan.

5/7

Pace attack

Harshal Patel and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar will lead India's pace attack in the second game.

6/7

Middle-order

Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant gave India much-needed finishing touch. Both the batters will look to continue their form in the next game.

7/7

Finisher

Dinesh Karthik made comeback to the side after three years. He did not get any opportunity to bat in the first game but he will look to score big in the second one.
