How will India’s playing eleven be? (PC-PTI)
India vs South Africa, 3rd ODI: The third ODI match between India and South Africa will be played in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. What will be the playing eleven of Team India in this match is a big question. What changes should be made in the Indian team so that its victory in the third ODI is ensured? Because if the team does not win, South Africa will also win the ODI series and Team India would not want to face the same fate as the Test. Let us now tell you how the playing eleven of Team India should be in the third ODI and by excluding which player the entire balance can be corrected.
A change is necessary in Team India
There is definitely a need for a change in the playing eleven of the Indian team. If Team India leaves out Prasidh Krishna and gives a chance to Nitish Reddy, then both its batting and bowling can become stronger. Now you will think how Nitish Reddy will strengthen Team India, In fact, if Nitish Reddy is used as a part-time bowler and Washington Sundar is used as per his ability, then the problem of run leaking of the Indian team can be put to full stop.
Washington Sundar was not used
The surprising thing is that Washington Sundar has been used by Team India as a batsman in the last two matches. He has been given a total of only 7 overs in two matches. Even in these 7 overs, he gave only 46 runs, which is a good performance according to the pitches of this ODI series. The question is why Sundar was not made to bowl more. Now in Visakhapatnam, if they are made to bowl the full quota and Nitish Reddy is also used as a part-time bowler, then the team can definitely benefit. With the arrival of Nitish Reddy, the team’s batting will become stronger and India’s run rate will also increase in the death overs. Nitish Reddy is known for playing big shots.
India’s playing eleven should be like this in the third ODI – Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana.
