Asia Cup: Sanju, Kuldeep Included As India Elect To Bowl Against UAE
T20 Asia Cup Group: India have included Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Yadav in their playing eleven as captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to bowl first against UAE in the Men's T20 Asia Cup Group A game at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Samson had been in contention with the returning Shubman Gill for the other opening slot, and the wicketkeeper-batter has been slotted at number five in the team sheet – a role where he hasn’t played much for India in T20Is and got the nod ahead of Jitesh Sharma.
India have also picked Kuldeep ahead of the likes of Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, with an eye to exploit the spin-favouring conditions in Dubai, with Jasprit Bumrah, Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya to handle fast-bowling duties. “Looks a nice fresh wicket. Humid also today, might be dew later. If we get an opportunity, we're flexible to do anything but today we want to bowl.”
