The T20 battle between India and England is currently going on. A five-match T20 series is being played between the two teams, in which India has a 2-0 lead after two matches. Both teams will now clash with each other at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, where the third match of the series is to be played. After trailing 0-2, it is very important for England to win this match, while India will have to win only one match out of the next three to win the series. In such a situation, the team can make some changes in the playing eleven of this match.
India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is part of the team for the ODI series against England and then the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan. Therefore, there is a possibility that the team can give him rest in the remaining matches of the T20 series. Apart from this, other all-rounder Shivam Dubey has been included in the Indian team and he can replace Pandya in the playing eleven.
Such has been Shivam Dubey’s career
His game is quite aggressive and he can destroy the English spin attack. If we look at Dubey’s career, he has played 33 T20 International matches so far and in this he has scored 448 runs at an average of 29.87. During this, Dubey’s strike rate has been 134.94. Talking about his bowling, he has taken 11 wickets in this format.
Shami may get a chance
India played four spinners in the second match, but they will not need an extra spinner in Rajkot. In such a situation, the team can include Mohammed Shami in the team in place of Ravi Bishnoi.
India’s probable playing XI for the third T20 match: Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Verma, Shivam Dubey, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty.
