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
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.

“If he improves his approach then in T20…”- Former cricketer gave such a statement about KL Rahul
KL Rahul played his last match for India in the T20 format during the T20 World Cup 2022. KL Rahul (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian player KL Rahul was not a part of the champion Indian team of T20 World Cup 2024. KL Rahul played the last match for India in this format during the T20 World Cup 2022. Rahul also did not get a chance in the T20 series of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka tour, which clearly indicates that the management no longer sees him as a T20 format player. However, former Indian player Dodda Ganesh believes that KL Rahul can still make a comeback in the shortest format of the game. However, Rahul needs to change his intent. He can still make a comeback if he improves his approach- Dodda Ganesh Dodda Ganesh tweeted on social media and wrote, If KL Rahul improves his approach in T20, he can still make a comeback and perform well for the Indian team in T20 Internationals. He is such a good talent that he will be missed for a long time. If KL Rahul rectifies his approach in the T20s he can still make a comeback and have a great stint with the Indian team in the T20Is. He is too good a talent to be missing out for long #DoddaMathu #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 1, 2024 KL Rahul scored 520 runs at a strike rate of 136.13 while playing for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024. It is difficult to choose between KL Rahul and Pant- Rohit Sharma The Indian team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. After winning the T20 series, the team is now ready to play the ODI series from August 2 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In the series against Sri Lanka, who among KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant should be given a place in the playing 11 as a wicketkeeper batsman is going to be a big headache for coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma. KL Rahul has shown a great game for India in the ODI World Cup 2023. At the same time, Rishabh Pant made a comeback in international cricket from the T20 World Cup 2024 after injury, he is now ready for a bang comeback in the ODI format as well. Speaking ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma said, It is difficult to choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Both are match winners in their own way. But it is a good problem and I want such problems. We will decide tomorrow.
IND vs SL: Pant or Rahul, who will get a chance in the first ODI match? Know what Captain Hitman said
KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are part of Team India for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) After winning the T20 series against Sri Lanka 3-0, Team India will now be eyeing to win the upcoming ODI series. The first match of the three-match ODI series will be played tomorrow (2 August) at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Before this match, the biggest headache for captain Rohit Sharma will be whether Rishabh Pant should be selected in the playing eleven as a wicketkeeper or should he stick with KL Rahul? Meanwhile, before the match, captain Rohit Sharma has given a statement on this. He has said that it is a good thing to have such a problem. He also told who he would choose as wicketkeeper batsman for this match. Rohit Sharma gave this answer on the selection of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul Captain Rohit Sharma, while answering this question in the press conference before the match, said how would he choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh? He said, “It is a difficult decision. Both of them are excellent players. You know the capabilities of both the players. When you have such quality, it is not easy to choose a team or player. Both these players are like that. They are match winners on their day. They have won many matches for us in the past.” Captain Rohit further said, “It is always good to have problems in selecting a team like this. You know, when you discuss a lot about who to choose and who not to, it means that there is quality in the team. So I think it is a good thing to have such problems and I wait for such problems as long as I am the captain.” From these statements of Rohit Sharma, it seems that Rishabh Pant may have to wait for now, because KL Rahul has been performing well as a wicketkeeper batsman for a long time. Rahul last played the ODI series in South Africa. At the same time, Pant played his last ODI international match in November 2022. He had a car accident in December.
