Chopra said that in this match you can see Kohli and Rohit opening the innings. Indian cricket will have its heart on one side and its pulse on the other. The first challenge is playing against the new ball, whether you have to bat first or not. I think the power-play will decide the outcome of the match. Be it a power play with the ball or with the bat. Whichever team wins, both will win the power-play match.
The former opener said that if you bat first and lose one or at most two wickets, you can control the match. Similarly, if you bowl first and take three or four wickets, it will be a match for this team. In such a situation, the power-play needs to be controlled as during this time you can create matches for yourself. However, the following is the XI that Akash Chopra has picked against Ireland.
1. Rohit Sharma 2. Virat Kohli 3. Rishabh Pant 4. Suryakumar Yadav 5. Shivam Dubey 6. Hardik Pandya 7. Ravindra Jadeja/Akshar Patel 8. Kuldeep Yadav 9. Jasprit Bumrah 10. Arshdeep Singh 11. Mohammad Siraj
While the Indian team management is confused about the XI for the first match, Akash Chopra has advocated playing two spinners instead of three in the team for this match.
