Rishabh Pant’s absence due to injury has opened the door for Dhruv Jurel’s inclusion. However, with KL Rahul also in the squad as a wicketkeeper, Jurel is likely to be a backup option, making his chances of playing slim. Furthermore, with Hardik Pandya unavailable due to injury, Nitish Kumar Reddy could feature as a fast-bowling all-rounder in the team.
