Colombo, September 9 (Press Ki Taquat)
The Indian team management’s predicament to choose between KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan will be the dominating theme amid the usual edgy emotional quotient, when they face arch-rivals Pakistan in the most-awaited Super 4 match of the Asia Cup here on Sunday.
Alongside focusing on the team goals, the Indian management will want to assemble the best possible 11 in the park against Pakistan, whom the Rohit Sharma-led outfit is facing for the second time in the event.
But for that, they need to find answers for the aforementioned puzzle, and hope that rains will stay away despite adding a controversial reserve day to the match on Monday.
The return of Rahul to the squad has widened the pool of players to select from, but that has also given them a happy headache.
Kishan has impressed everyone in the last month or so, smashing four fifties in as many matches – three against the West Indies and one against Pakistan in the Asia Cup Group A match at Pallekele last week.
During the process, Kishan has also diversified himself, underlining his comfort in positions ranging from opening to number 5.
The 25-year-old Jharkhand man opened the innings against the Caribbean team while batted in the middle-order against Pakistan.
