In the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 match, KL Rahul played for the first time since May, and Mohammed Shami was replaced by Jasprit Bumrah. Due to a back spasm, Shreyas Iyer was unable to participate in the Super 4s game.
For their vital Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours encounter against Pakistan in Colombo on Sunday, September 10, India made two adjustments to their starting lineup. Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, won the toss and decided to field because the weather held out and the sun was out in the city.
Two changes were made, and captain Rohit Sharma explained that one of them had to be made because Shreyas Iyer had a back spasm prior to the match against Pakistan. Iyer had only participated in two games at the Asia Cup’s group stage after returning from a protracted injury layoff, which was disappointing.
