They will face their arch-rivals Pakistan on the very next day which may again be a demerit for India.

India will be without the services of Virat Kohli, who has been rested for the series. Rohit Sharma will take the charge in his absence and Shikhar Dhawan will act as his deputy. With the absence of Virat, Indian team management may make some changes in the Indian squad.
