The first two matches of the ongoing three-match T-20 series between India and Bangladesh have been played. The third match of the series will be played on October 12 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Talking about the two matches played, Team India played brilliantly and won both the matches and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Now India’s eyes will be on cleaning up the mess of the guests.
Since India has won the series, captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir can give a chance to the players sitting on the bench. In such a situation, we will tell you in this article what changes can happen in India’s playing XI for the third T20.
Sanju Samson got a chance to play as an opening batsman in the T20 series against Bangladesh, but he has not been able to take advantage of it yet. In the first T20, he was out after scoring 29 runs in 19 balls and in the second match, he was out after scoring 10 runs in 7 balls. In the first T20, he got a good start, but he could not convert it into a big innings, whereas in the second T20, he lost his wicket early. After failing twice in a row, whether Samson will get a third chance or not is the question in everyone’s mind.
If Sanju Samson is dropped from the team, then only a wicketkeeper will get a chance in the playing XI, in such a situation only Jitesh Sharma is seen on the bench. Jitesh has played 9 T20 matches for India so far in which he has scored 100 runs in 7 innings. He played his first T20 for India in October 2023, but since then he has not got many opportunities. He last played T20 against Afghanistan earlier this year.
India’s probable playing XI for the third T20 against Bangladesh:
Abhishek Sharma, Jitesh Sharma/Sanju Samson (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Nitish Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Ryan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakraborty, Harshit Rana/Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav.
