Overview

• Speaking on Sony Sports, Sunil Gavaskar advised sitting Jasprit Bumrah for the Oman match and even the Super 4 opener against Pakistan.
• India have already clinched top spot in Group A, making the Oman game a low-risk opportunity to rotate the side.
• Gavaskar recommended batting-order experiments, asking Suryakumar Yadav to move down so Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson get time at the crease.
• If rotation is implemented, Arshdeep Singh or Harshit Rana are seen as likely pace options, with Arshdeep one wicket shy of 100 T20I wickets.
• Team management has not confirmed any XI changes, while Bumrah has taken three wickets in two matches since his T20I return under workload management.
