Toss won't matter. Pitch is less likely to break down a lot due to weather, so batting last won't be as bad. Plus there should be some/more seam on day 1, so batting 1st or batting last should balance each other out, making toss much less of a factor imo. Let's see

If india bat first and can score 270+ than anything can happen .

Two top pace bowlers of the world leading their teams in a test match clash. Has it ever happened before? Walsh vs. Akram maybe?
Probably not the top 2 given the quality around at that time (McGrath would surely be in there).

Rabada and Hazlewood both ranked higher than these 2 currently.

Imran vs botham?
Botham never skippered against Pakistan....but Bob Willis did. Imran v Willis would be right up there, it has so rarely happened. Again, not probably top 2 at the time but close.

They should be doing what all respected sportsmen do - delivering in spades on the field before engaging in some pantswork on the sly, preferably carried out while their wife is mid-delivery so they can blame it on the anxiety associated with become a new father.
