India vs Pakistan, T20 World Cup 2016: 5 players to watch out for

The much-anticipated, high-octane clash between the two arch-rivals, India and Pakistan will unfold at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata tomorrow. Millions of viewers across the globe are eagerly waiting for the match to start. In the previous World Cups, current hosts India enjoy an unbeaten record against their arch-rivals. So, in the ICC World T20 2016, Pakistan will look to try to end that streak and register their first win against the men in blue in any world cup.India started the tournament on a disastrous note as they lost to New Zealand. The next three games are very crucial for the men-in-blue as they look to stay alive in the tournament. Pakistan on the other hand, began their tournament in a grand manner as they crushed Bangladesh and the momentum is surely with them.However, both the teams have players who can be match-winners on their own. If India possess a strong batting line-up, then Pakistan have the firepower in their bowling. Here are the five players to watch out for in the marquee clash.

#5 Ravichandran Ashwin

India’s bowling hopes lie on this intelligent off-spinner from Tamil Nadu as he will look forward to bamboozle the Pakistan batsmen with his variations. He is someone who bowls well under pressure and will look to pick up early wickets to halt the Pakistan juggernaut.

Ashwin was not impressive in the first match against the Black Caps despite having conditions which suit his style of bowling. So he will be eager to bounce back and prove his worth in the side. There is no bigger game than India-Pakistan for the players to show their mettle and Ashwin will be keen to do that and is surely the one to watch out for.
