Gained two, lost one. That’s India’s scorecard heading into their second Group A fixture of the T20 World Cup.

India’s build-up to their title defence has been anything but encouraging from an injury/illness perspective. Two days before the start of their campaign against United States, they lost promising paceman Harshit Rana for the entire tournament with a knee injury. They only had a complement of 13 — including Rana’s replacement, Mohammed Siraj — to choose from at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, with Jasprit Bumrah ill and Washington Sundar yet to join the team following a side injury.
