New Delhi. Team India has confirmed its place in the Super-8 by defeating Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Now the last group match of the Indian team will be against Netherlands on 18th February at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In this match, big changes can be seen in the playing 11 of Team India.
Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah rested
The Indian team management is considering giving rest to Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah keeping in mind the Super-8 matches. This will also give freshness to the team for the next important matches and the bowling-attack balance will be maintained.
Abhishek Sharma and Ishaan Kishan will open
Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan can be the opening pair of the team against Netherlands. Abhishek’s bat has been quiet so far in this tournament, so he will try to return to his form before the Super-8. At the same time, Ishan Kishan will try to maintain his excellent rhythm.
Washington Sundar and Mohammed Siraj return
If Hardik and Bumrah are rested, Washington Sundar and fast bowler Mohammed Siraj may return to the playing 11. Apart from this, Arshdeep Singh can also be included in the final eleven.
