There are three players of Team India who will be dropped by captain Rohit Sharma from the playing XI in the third and decisive ODI to be held in Chennai tomorrow. In the second ODI, these three players turned out to be the biggest culprits of Team India. The three-match ODI series is currently tied at 1-1, so whichever team wins the third ODI in Chennai tomorrow, will win the series. Rohit Sharma does not want to get the taint of the ODI series defeat from Australia in his own home under his captaincy. The third and deciding match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia will be played tomorrow at 1:30 pm in Chennai. Captain Rohit Sharma will drop 3 flop players tomorrow in order to register a win. Captain Rohit Sharma can make 3 major changes in the playing eleven of Team India for the third ODI. Let’s take a look at what 3 major changes Captain Rohit Sharma will make in the playing XI in the third ODI against Australia.
Captain Rohit Sharma will make these 3 big changes in the third ODI
In the third ODI against Australia, captain Rohit Sharma will show the way out to three players from the playing XI of Team India. Captain Rohit Sharma will first drop Suryakumar Yadav from Team India’s playing XI in the third ODI against Australia. Suryakumar Yadav was given a chance in the playing XI in place of injured Shreyas Iyer in the first two ODIs against Australia, but Suryakumar Yadav flopped at number 4 batting position. Suryakumar Yadav has been dismissed for a golden duck twice in a row in the first and second ODIs against Australia. Suryakumar Yadav scored 9 (8), 8 (6), 4 (3), 34* (25), 6 (10), 4 (4), 31 (26), 14 (9), 0 ( 1), scored 0 (1). Due to Suryakumar Yadav’s flop at number 4 batting position in the first two ODIs against Australia, Team India’s top order was completely destroyed. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma will drop Suryakumar Yadav and give chance to Ishaan Kishan at number 4 batting position in the third ODI.
Second major change in playing eleven
For the third ODI against Australia, captain Rohit Sharma will show the way out of the playing XI to chinaman spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav while making another major change in the playing XI. Kuldeep Yadav bowled poorly in the second ODI against Australia, conceding 12 runs in 1 over. Apart from this, Kuldeep Yadav also performed very poorly while batting. Kuldeep Yadav got out after scoring only 4 runs. Captain Rohit Sharma made a big change in the playing XI of the third ODI against Australia, leaving Chinaman spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav out of the playing XI and giving a chance to fast bowler Umran Malik. Talking about Umran Malik, he continuously bowls at a speed of more than 150 kmph. When Umran Malik comes out to bowl on the field, he will destroy the entire Australian team. Umran Malik has played 8 ODIs and 8 T20 matches for Team India. Umran Malik has taken 13 wickets in 8 ODIs and 11 wickets in 8 T20 matches. Umran Malik will strengthen Team India’s bowling even more.
Third major change in playing eleven
For the third ODI against Australia, captain Rohit Sharma will drop left arm spinner Akshar Patel while making the third major change in the playing XI, as Team India already has a left arm spinner in the form of Ravindra Jadeja. With Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel together, Team India does not get any variety in bowling. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma will replace Akshar Patel in the playing XI for the third ODI against Australia and give Washington Sundar a chance in his place. Washington Sundar is also known for explosive batting in the lower order with lethal off-spin bowling.
This could be India’s playing 11 in the third ODI:
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Umran Malik, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj
