Will there be any changes in Team India in the third ODI?
Team India’s opening pair has failed in the last two matches so far. Especially Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is playing in the absence of Shubman Gill, has not played well. He was out after scoring 18 and 22 runs. In such a situation, if the management wants, then it can give a chance to Rituraj Gaikwad as an opener in the third ODI in his place. Ritu had scored a century in the second ODI, but was playing at number 4. Apart from this, Tilak Verma can be given a chance at number 4 in the team, but for that one bowler will have to be dropped.

Will there be changes in Indian bowling?
Now the big question is, when Tilak Verma plays at number 4, who will be the second player to go out? If Gautam Gambhir wants, then fast bowler Prasidh Krishna can sit out, who had given away a lot of runs in the last match. Even after this a question arises, will India play with only 5 bowlers? It may happen that if Tilak Verma does not get a chance in the playing 11, then all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy can be kept in his place. At the same time, KL Rahul himself can bat at number four. With the arrival of Nitish, he can become the third fast bowler after Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh, while Jadeja, Kuldeep and Washington will be the options for spin bowling.
Could Washington Sundar be ousted?
Gautam Gambhir and Co. have options to make another change in the third ODI. If he wants, he can drop spin all-rounder Washington Sundar. He has not batted in the last 2 ODIs and has been seen struggling against the bowlers. Apart from this, he is not able to bowl much. In such a situation, the team can keep Nitish Kumar Reddy in his place. The biggest reason for this is that Nitish’s batting is more impressive than Sundar. He can play the role of finisher by hitting long sixes.
