It is still early days for Rohit Sharma as a captain but has already figured out the core group of players that will travel to Australia for the World Cup Down Under later this year.

Young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi might get a look in place of senior pro Yuzvendra Chahal, while Avesh Khan is likely to find a spot in the playing eleven.

Ishan Kishan, the young opener got a massive dose of confidence in the series opener on Thursday after his struggles against the West Indies. Shreyas Iyer made merry at number three in the absence of the rested Virat Kohli and would be aiming to repeat that for the rest of the series.

When a full-strength India take the field next, he might not find a place in the playing eleven and therefore, he needs to make the most of the opportunities that come his way.

As Rohit indicated after the opening game, a fit again Ravindra Jadeja will continue to bat higher up the order as the team wants to optimise his significantly improved batting skills. Comeback man Sanju Samson did not get to bat in the opener and he will be eagerly waiting for his turn at the scenic Dharamsala ground.

Predicted playing XIs:

India probable XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (WK), Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Venkatesh Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Jasprit Bumrah.
