Surprisingly, Axar Patel did not bowl, and they could make use of a proper batter in his place by bringing in Rinku Singh. Shivam Dube, too, did not bowl either, but he may retain his place. Harshit Rana has already solidified his position with his all-around display, putting Axar Patel's position under scrutiny.
