Know why it has become necessary for the Indian team to include Rishabh Pant in its playing XI in the third ODI against Sri Lanka
The third and final ODI between Sri Lanka and India is scheduled to be played on July 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. 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 4 Indian players can be the reason for defeat in the third ODI
In this article, we will talk about those 4 Indian players who can be the reason for Team India’s defeat in the third ODI match (IND vs SL 3rd ODI). IND vs SL (Photo Source: Getty Images) IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final ODI match between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7. While the first ODI match between the two teams ended in a draw, the Indian team had to face defeat in the second ODI. Sri Lanka won by 32 runs while defending 241 runs. The Indian team needed 241 runs to win this match. But the Indian team’s innings ended at 208 runs. In this article, we will talk about those 4 Indian players who can be the reason for Team India’s defeat in the third ODI match. Virat Kohli Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Like the first ODI match, in the second match too Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave a good start to the Indian team. Both of them together added 97 runs. From here the target was very close. At that time Virat Kohli came to bat. He wanted to take the innings forward. But in this match too he returned cheaply. Virat Kohli had scored just 14 runs. After Virat was out, the Indian team’s score was 116 runs for 3 wickets. Earlier in the first ODI too, he had returned cheaply, he had scored only 24 runs. A batsman like Virat Kohli getting out cheaply raises some questions. Kohli is called a chase master but his bat has remained silent in both the matches. If such a performance comes from his side in the third ODI (IND vs SL 3rd ODI) too, then the situation can get worse for India. Shreyas Iyer Shreyas Iyer (Image Credit- Twitter X) After being out of the team for almost 10 months, Shreyas Iyer got a chance to return to the Indian team. But he has been a super flop in the first two matches. While chasing the runs in the first match of the series, he returned after scoring 23 runs, while in the second match he could score only 7 runs. Being an important part of the team’s middle order, this kind of form of Iyer can become a problem for the team. KL Rahul KL Rahul (Image Credit- Twitter X) KL Rahul played an important innings in the first match. He made an important partnership with Akshar Patel and on the basis of this partnership he brought the Indian team very close to victory. However, that match was drawn. But in the second ODI match, he returned to the pavilion on zero. KL Rahul is also an important part of the team’s middle order. The team has a lot of expectations from him and being a big match player, his poor performance is a big blow to the team. shivam dubey Shivam Dube.
