IND vs ENG: The third and final match of the ODI series being played between India and England is now close. This match will be played on 12 February at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Indian team has already won this series, but now its eyes are on the preparations for the Champions Trophy. What will be the playing eleven of Team India in this match, this remains a big question.

Yashasvi Jaiswal may get another chance

The Indian team has already won the series, so some experiments can be seen in this match. Shubman Gill has performed brilliantly in the first two matches, so he can be rested and Yashasvi Jaiswal can get another chance in his place. Jaiswal has been selected as an additional opener for the Champions Trophy, so he can be given a chance to gain confidence.

Rishabh Pant may get the first chance

So far, KL Rahul has taken over the wicketkeeping responsibilities in both the ODIs. But Rishabh Pant can also be tested before the Champions Trophy. However, instead of replacing KL Rahul, Pant can be given a chance in place of Shreyas Iyer. Iyer has performed brilliantly in the first two matches, but the team management would also like to give Pant a chance.

Washington Sundar may get a chance to play

So far Washington Sundar has not got any chance in this series, while Axar Patel has performed impressively. The team management may give Sundar a chance to play in a match so that his form can be assessed.

Possible playing XI

Some changes can be seen in the Indian team in this match. The probable playing eleven can be as follows:

  • Rohit Sharma (captain)
  • Yashasvi Jaiswal
  • Virat Kohli
  • Rishabh Pant
  • KL Rahul (wicketkeeper)
  • Hardik Pandya
  • Washington Sundar
  • Ravindra Jadeja
  • Arshdeep Singh
  • Mohammed Shami
  • Varun Chakraborty
In this match, Rohit Sharma will try to decide which players should be prepared in the team for the Champions Trophy. Now it remains to be seen whether Team India takes risky decisions or enters the field with already proven players.
