Abhishek Sharma used to open an innings with Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson, but India decided to change the pair for the continental tournament.
This happened because the selection committee decided to remember Shubman Gill to recall the T20 Eye setup and handed them over-capacity.
Gill remembered a lot of T20I matches for India last year for testing and focusing on ODI, but was called back in England with a T20I setup behind an all-time series with bat. In addition, the selectors are seeing him as the ideal successor of T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav.

I will not already promote her too much – Chris Srikanth
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Srikanth praised Abhishek Sharma for performing brilliantly in India’s last domestic T20I series against England, but refused to hypnotize him a lot. He said:
“He also scored against England. But we have to wait and see. I will not already promote it too much. Although it is for all the attackers for bats, he sometimes reduces and caught small delivery on his body. 5.
“Even in the IPL, he came out two or three times in the square leg against that delivery. Pakistan will try to bowl in its chest and in his body. But if he comes in the initial stage, Abhishek Sharma will break the bowling.”
In particular, Abhishek was seen in a good touch in India’s tournament opener against UAE, scoring 30 runs off 16 balls.

Chris Srikanth further said that Arshdeep Singh should play the match against Pakistan as India does not need 8 batsmen for the T20I match. He said:
“I said that Arshdeep should play in the first match itself. Does India need eight batsmen to play 20 overs?
In particular, India went with Jasprit Bumrah as the only frontline pacer in the XI, playing against the UAE, with Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey other pace-bouncing options.
