The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Zimbabwe, where they have to play 5 T20 matches. India's young team is tied 1-1 in the series after 2 matches, but Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dubey and Sanju Samson are returning to the Indian camp from the third match. In such a situation, there can be a significant change in the playing eleven combination in the third match compared to the first two matches. So let's know which 3 players sitting out can prove to be costly for Team India in the third match against Zimbabwe.
Abhishek Sharma
In the first match of the series, Abhishek Sharma opened with Shubman Gill. This was the first match of Abhishek's international career, but he was out for zero runs in 4 balls. But in the second match, he came out of the pressure and completed a century in 46 balls. He hit 7 fours and 8 sixes in his innings of 100 runs in 47 balls. Shubman Gill is the captain, so he cannot be removed. At the same time, Yashasvi Jaiswal will return as an opening batsman. Abhishek has shown that he is capable of giving India a fast start, so at the moment the team management should consider giving him more chances.
Washington Sundar
Washington is a good off-spin bowler who can also bat if needed. Shivam Dubey will return as an all-rounder in the third T20I, but he should not replace Washington Sundar in the playing XI. Sundar has taken a total of 3 wickets in 2 matches so far and in the pressure-filled first match, he played a crucial innings of 27 runs to bring India close to victory. If Shivam Dubey is to be included in the final 11, then Riyan Parag should be included in his place. In such a situation, Parag may have to wait to make a place in Team India.
Rituraj Gaikwad
If the team management includes returning players Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dubey and Sanju Samson in the playing XI and also includes Abhishek Sharma, then Ruturaj Gaikwad may also be out. Gaikwad is one of the most experienced batsmen in this team and has also gained captaincy experience. In the second match, he played an unbeaten innings of 77 runs. Gaikwad is strengthening the top order and dropping him will not only weaken Team India in terms of experience but will also lose an in-form batsman.
