Sanju Samson
IND | WK
There might be a tussle between Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma for the wicketkeeper role in the playing 11. Even if Samson makes it to the playing 11, he will have to bat in the lower middle-order and has not been really effective in that position.

He has been ruled out of the series and can be avoided for this match.
