Also, Motera Stadium is his home ground in IPL as he represented Gujarat Titans

Rohit Sharma:

In the last match, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma scored a century against Afghanistan. His ton will surely boost his confidence and he seems to be in good touch in white-ball cricket. The last time, Sharma played against Pakistan was in Asia Cup 2023 in which he 56 runs in 49 balls

Virat Kohli:

India's 'chase master' Virat Kohli has been a consistent performer against Pakistan. In Asia Cup 2023, Virat Kohli smashed an unbeaten 122 runs in just 94 deliveries against Pakistan. Even, Virat Kohli's knock of 183 runs came against Pakistan which is his highest ODI score till date

Mohammad Rizwan:

Pakistan's speedster Hasan Ali has 6 wickets and is the third rank holder in the list of leading wickets takers in the ICC World Cup 2023. India's lead speedster Jasprit Bumrah has 6 wickets under his belt and is sharing the third spot with Hasan Ali in the list. Who will strike more wickets in today's clash, will be an exciting point to watch

Shaheen Shah Afridi:

Pakistan's left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi will be a big challenge for Team India. In most India-Pakistan matches, Afridi struck important wickets of Team India. The battle between Indian batters and Shaheen Shah Afridi will be an important point from today's match

Kuldeep Yadav:
