      \n
    • Harshit Rana impressed in his debut series against England and picked up three wickets against Bangladesh.<\/li>\n
    • Arshdeep Singh, a left-arm pacer known for troubling batters, remains a strong contender to feature in the playing XI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The final decision will depend on team management’s strategy\u2014whether they prioritize Harshit\u2019s raw pace or Arshdeep\u2019s experience and control.<\/p>\n
