The third and last match of the three-match T20 series will be played between India and Sri Lanka today (30 July, Tuesday). Team India has gained an unassailable lead in the series by winning the last two matches. This is the reason why not one or two but four changes can be seen in Team India's playing XI in the third and last T20 match. Series winning Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav can test his bench strength in the third T20 match.
4 changes can be made in the playing eleven
There can be four changes in Team India's playing eleven in the third T20 against Sri Lanka. The first change in the team can be seen in the form of Sanju Samson. In the second T20, Sanju Samson was included in the playing eleven in place of Shubman Gill. Now Shubman Gill can return for the third T20. Sanju, who was included in the playing eleven in the second T20, could not take advantage of the opportunity and was bowled on a 'golden duck'.
Apart from this, another change can be made in the form of fast bowler Mohammad Siraj. Left-arm fast bowler Khalil Ahmed can be included in the playing eleven of the third T20 in place of Mohammad Siraj. Siraj has been able to take only one wicket in the last two matches.
There may be changes in the all-rounder category
In the first two T20s, Akshar Patel and Hardik Pandya were seen as all-rounders. In such a situation, both the all-rounders can be rested from the third match. Shivam Dubey can get a chance in place of Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar can get a chance in place of Akshar Patel.
Probable playing XI of team India
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Khaleel Ahmed.
