India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and chose to bat first against Oman at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The defending champions have made two changes, Harshit Rana replaces Varun Chakravarthy, and Arshdeep Singh comes in for fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
At the toss, India captain Suryakumar Yadav did something fans have often seen from former captain Rohit Sharma, he forgot the team changes. After forgetting the new players, Surya joked that he has started acting like Rohit.

“We are looking to bat first. We have not batted first in this competition and we want to know our depth. Having game time is important going into the Super 4s. We want to continue the good habits we are doing in the first two games and want to continue to do that. It is looking nice, and our openers will assess it further. We have two changes – Harshit comes in, one more guy comes in, I have become like Rohit (laughs)” said Suryakumar Yadav at toss.
Oman (Playing XI): Aamir Kaleem, Jatinder Singh(c), Hammad Mirza, Vinayak Shukla(w), Shah Faisal, Zikria Islam, Aryan Bisht, Mohammad Nadeem, Shakeel Ahmed, Samay Shrivastava, Jiten Ramanandi
