KL Rahul has been excellent as the team's wicketkeeper and batsman as Pant was kept out of the team for about 14 months after the accident. Now after returning to the ODI team, KL Rahul is more likely to get a place in the team. Captain Rohit Sharma can bring Rahul into the team by dropping Pant from the playing eleven.
This player can make his ODI debut
Indian team's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been given rest during this ODI series. In such a situation, it was believed that Riyan Parag could be included in the playing eleven and given a chance to make his ODI debut. Earlier, Riyan Parag was included in the team for the T20 series. Where his performance was decent. Although another all-rounder Shivam Dubey is also present in the team as an option, but according to reports, Dubey is unlikely to get a chance.
