India put up an abysmal display to go down to Pakistan by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup encounter in Dubai. The loss for India ended their dominance over their arch-rivals in the World Cup as this was the first time ever that the Indians had lost to Pakistan in a World Cup match - 50-over for T20. Batting first after losing the toss, India got off to a horror start losing their in-form openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul cheaply. Although Virat Kohli (57) and Rishabh Pant (39) engineered a fightback, India could only post 151 for 7 on the board.

Here are three changes India could make for the key clash.
