The defeat for India on Sunday hasn’t misplaced them in the points tally, but have indicated few key flag areas, which India are likely to give utmost importance in coming games to back themselves stronger than before.
After a little ambiguity on the exact role of Kedar Jadhav in the side, Jadeja can be seen taking the field on Tuesday.
Vijay Shankar's injury has hit them hard, and he has been ruled out of the tournament.
To aim, a quick regroup India need to focus on spin attack, who had lackluster outing against England, and of course the middle order issues.
