Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) The third and final ODI match between Sri Lanka and India is to be played on July 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. So far, two matches have been played between these two teams in this ODI series. The first match ended in a tie between the two teams while the second was won by Sri Lanka by 32 runs. The most surprising thing in both these matches was that at one time India was in a very strong position but due to the poor performance of the middle order, the team failed to win both the matches. Now India will definitely want to win the third match between these two teams. It can also be expected that the excellent wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant may return to India’s playing XI. Rishabh Pant’s performance has been very good in international ODI cricket and he can be seen playing in the third ODI in place of KL Rahul. Talking about KL Rahul, he batted very poorly in the second ODI and was out without opening his account. Today we tell you the three main reasons why Rishabh Pant should play for the Indian team in the third ODI against Sri Lanka. 1- Rishabh Pant can prove to be very lethal against spinners Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) So far in the two ODI matches, it has been seen that Sri Lanka’s spinners have constantly put pressure on the Indian batsmen. Spinners are getting a lot of help on the Colombo pitch. The host also knows this very well and is playing with 4 specialist spinners. So far, apart from Rohit Sharma, no other Indian batsman has been able to put pressure on Sri Lankan spinners. If Rishabh Pant is seen playing in the third ODI, then Sri Lankan spinners may face a lot of problems. This is also because Rishabh Pant’s performance has always been very good against spinners. Rishabh Pant’s strike rate in the middle overs against spinners in ODIs is 105.
IND vs SL 3rd ODI: These 3 big changes are decided in Team India for the third ODI
IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Gautam Gambhir, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer (Source X) IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Indian team has suffered a setback in this series and now they will have to win the last match at all costs to end the series on a draw. Therefore, Team India needs to correct the mistakes made in the last two matches and then enter the field. The repair work has to be done by making changes in the team’s playing eleven. Accordingly, there is every possibility of 3 big changes in Team India for the third ODI match. Riyan Parag replaces Shivam Dubey The inclusion of Riyan Parag in the playing eleven in place of Shivam Dubey in the third ODI will strengthen the team. This is because the Colombo pitch helps spin bowlers. Dubey has performed well in the past as well, but considering the circumstances, Riyan Parag may be a better option for the third ODI. Apart from this, Riyan Parag can also be selected in the team in place of Shreyas Iyer. Rishabh Pant may replace KL Rahul Wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul has disappointed in this ODI series. KL Rahul could not contribute much in both the matches of the series. Rahul scored 31 runs in the first ODI but failed to lead the team to victory. In the second match, Rahul faced only two balls and got out. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant can get a chance as a wicketkeeper in place of KL Rahul. With Rishabh coming into the team, the selection of left-handed batsmen in the playing 11 will also increase. It is necessary to give a chance to Harshit Rana There is not much help for fast bowlers in Colombo, apart from this Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj have managed to take two wickets each so far. In such a situation, it could be a good plan to include young fast and aggressive bowler Harshit Rana in the team in his place. Harshit Rana caught everyone’s attention with his good cutter and slow bowling in the IPL. Not only this, Rana can also contribute through batting. In such a situation, there is every possibility that Rana will enter the team for the third match. See Also: IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction 3rd ODI in Hindi
