India vs England, 3rd ODI Playing XI prediction: Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar may replace out-of-form Kuldeep Yadav and Krunal Pandya for the third and final ODI on Sunday.
With the series currently poised at 1-1, both India and England will fancy their chances and back themselves to win the series-decider in Pune on Sunday. Indian cricket team may like to revisit its 50-over template with an aim to complete a hat-trick of series wins against England in the third and final ODI in Pune. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan will continue to open for India with Rohit looking for a big score in the series-decider. Virat Kohli, at No.3, would be keen to carry his form and convert the start into a really big total and end the century drought. KL Rahul is back in form with a fifty and a century and will bolster India's middle-order along with the X-factor duo Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya. Kuldeep Yadav gave away 84 runs in his 10 overs while Krunal Pandya was hit for 72 runs in just 6 overs in the 2nd ODI. That’s 156 runs in 16 overs that the Indian spinners conceded without taking a wicket. So, in all probability, Kuldeep Yadav and Krunal Pandya could be replaced by leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar, who can also chip in with the bat, if needed.More Related News
