India's possible batting order for the game

Rahul's absence gives Kishan a chance to showcase his consistency at the top which was missing during his recently concluded IPL campaign for Mumbai Indians.Shreyas Iyer, who was terrific at No. 3 against Sri Lanka in February, could hold on to the spot, in the absence of the injured Suryakumar Yadav. Deepak Hooda, who has been in fine form, could also be given a chance since his impressive batting in the same position for Lucknow Super Giants. Pant is expected to come in at No.4 with his new deputy Hardik Pandya at No. 5 and it will be a toss up between young Hooda and comeback man Dinesh Karthik for the No. 6 spot.
