All the talk leading up to the Asia Cup Super-Four Clash between India and Pakistan at Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium was about the weather and who should India pick between the fit-again KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan. Kishan's 82 under pressure vs Pakistan in the league game at Pallekele last week seemed to suggest that he had won the No.5 spot, meaning the fit-again Rahul having to wait his turn to make his comeback.
However, at the toss skipper Rohit Sharma announced two changes, one of them 'forced' when he revealed that Shreyas Iyer had picked up a back spasm during warm-ups, ruling him out of the game. The other change was Bumrah coming back from paternity leave in place of Mohammad Shami.
