After the first ODI in Guwahati, in the second match in Kolkata, the Indian team made only one change and made a place for Kuldeep, who became the player of the match.
India Vs Sri Lanka Playing
It is known that the Indian cricket team has been selected for the series against New Zealand and Australia. However, some of the choices were surprising.. but some people got a lucky chance. But, keeping these discussions aside.. Now let’s find out how Team India’s playing XI will be for the final ODI between India and Sri Lanka on Sunday, January 15. With the final match of the three-match series scheduled to be played in Thiruvananthapuram today, all eyes are on whether Team India, who have already clinched the series, will make any changes.
Team India won the first ODI in Guwahati and the second ODI in Kolkata to clinch the series. In these two matches, the Indian team made only one change in the playing XI. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who was injured while fielding in Guwahati, was replaced by his fellow left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep proved it right by taking 3 wickets. He secured his place in the final ODI with the player of the match award.
Will Kuldeep drop again?
However, despite being the ‘player of the match’ in the first test of the tour of Bangladesh, Kuldeep was left out of the next test. Kuldeep should not drop again. But this time it doesn’t seem likely to happen at all. However, Team India has been taking strange decisions regarding Kuldeep in the past as well. That’s why there is this concern till the list comes out after the toss.
This is the biggest question before the team.
Kuldeep will definitely be in the playing 11. But the question has become whether Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav will get a chance. In the first two matches of this series, the aggressive batsman did not get a place and there was a lot of uproar. But the players who prioritized it did better when given the opportunity.
But it remains to be seen whether players like Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul will be played as they have clinched the series. Or will youth be given a chance?
Will Shami get a rest?
Talking about bowling, there will be a change here. It will be in the form of fast bowling. Veteran fast bowler Mohammad Shami may be rested. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh will get a chance in his place. Shami did not perform well in the first two matches. But the real reason to rest him seems to be next month’s Border-Gavaster Trophy. Apart from these, no other changes are visible.
India Probable Playing XI..
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul (wicket keeper), Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj, Umran Malik.
