New Delhi. The Indian team will face England in the third T20 match of the five -match T20 series today. After winning a 2-0 lead in the series by winning in Kolkata and Chennai, now Team India would like to capture the series in Rajkot and capture the series. If India retained the rhythm of victory, it would have won the fourth consecutive T20 series of India under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. In this match, a change in playing XI against England is expected.

For the second T20 match played in Chennai, India had made two changes in its playing eleven. There is a possibility of two changes for the third match. Wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurlel who played in the last match but could not do anything special with the bat, Shivam Dubey or Ramandeep Singh can get a chance. Dubey and Ramandeep were included in the T20 team on Saturday. Nitish Kumar Reddy was out of the entire series while Rinku Singh has been excluded from the second and third T20 due to back pain.

Ramandeep played the last two matches of the T20 series against South Africa in November 2024. Dubey played the last T20 match for India on 30 July 2024 against Sri Lanka in Pallekele. According to the information, both Dubey and Ramandeep can be included in the playing XI in the third match. One of the spinner Ravi Bishnoi or Washington beautiful can be done out.

Doubt on Shami
Star fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who was out of the first two T20 matches against England, is finding it difficult to return to the playing XI. Questions are constantly being raised about his/her fitness. Shami will be an important player for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the Indian team management would not want to feed him/her in a hurry.

England’s playing XI:

Ben Docket, Philip Salt (wicket -keeper), Joss Butler (Captain), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith, Jamie Operton, Bridan Cars, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.
