Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has warned Pakistan about India’s spin attack ahead of their T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan on Sunday. He believed that India’s spinners, especially Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarty, could cause major trouble for Pakistan’s batsmen. “For India, I definitely want Kuldeep Yadav to play. He will pose a bigger threat to Pakistan than any other Indian bowler,” Ali said in a podcast with Anis Sajan.
The Indian team received a grand and colorful welcome when they arrived in Colombo on Friday. Local musicians and dancers greeted the contestants at the airport with traditional drumming, creating a festive atmosphere. Ardeep Singh Dance to the beat of the drums and steal the show in a moment that promises to go viral on social media. Head coach Gautam Gambhir looked serious and focused while Hardik Pandya arrived in style with his girlfriend Mahieka Sharma.On the field, India aims to dominate Pakistan. The team is expected to rely on a strong batting line-up including Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh and either Abhishek Sharma or Sanju Samson. Abhishek is recovering from a stomach infection and is hoping to get back fit after a poor start to the tournament.Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya have had good records against Pakistan in the past and Ishan Kishan is also in good form. Tilak Varma had previously performed well against Pakistan and he will try to repeat that in this important match.With Sri Lanka known for being a spin-friendly pitch, Varun Chakravarthy can play an important role as India’s spin attack is expected to be a key factor in the high-pressure clash.
