As India sealed the ongoing 3-match ODI series with two consecutive wins, for the remaining match of the series, the Indian team management is expected to make a few changes in the line-up.
In the pre-match conference in Chennai, batting coach Ryan ten Doeschate provided multiple hints about the possible playing eleven for the third ODI against Afghanistan.
Arshdeep is set to be dropped from the playing combination
Arshdeep Singh, who played the previous match in Lucknow and took 3 wickets, could be on the bench tomorrow when the Men in Blue will be up against the Afghans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
If Arshdeep Singh drops from the side, and the team continues to play with three pacers, then Prasidh Krishna is expected to be back in the line-up. With Prasidh, the pace trio could be Prasidh, Prince Yadav, and Gurnoor Brar. As Prince and Gurnoor are newcomers in the team, they are expected to retain their spots.
KL Rahul as an opener?
The former Netherlands batters also mentioned that Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was dismissed for only 4 runs in the previous match, is likely to keep his place safe ahead of India’s UK tour. As Jaiswal is set to be one of the openers for the third match of the ongoing series, KL Rahul can remain as the number 5 batter for now.
