In the third T20 against Sri Lanka, the Indian team has taken a decision which is really surprising. Team India has dropped two big players from its playing eleven. One of which is KL Rahul. In place of KL Rahul, Team India gave a chance to Rishabh Pant and along with this Arshdeep Singh was also dropped, in his place Riyan Parag was included in the team. This will be his debut match.

Injustice to KL Rahul?

It is a very strange decision to exclude KL Rahul from the playing eleven. Because he batted well in the first ODI, although Team India could not win that match.

He flopped in the second ODI, but the big thing is that he was sent to bat at number 7. Not only this, Team India excluded its strike bowler Arshdeep Singh, who proved to be expensive in the last two matches. Team India entered the field with only one specialist fast bowler Mohammad Siraj in the third T20.

9 batsmen in playing eleven

In the third ODI, the Indian team gave chance to 9 such players in their playing eleven who can bat. Apart from Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, the team has players like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Riyan Parag, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar who can bat.

Apart from this, Kuldeep Yadav also bats a little. Only Mohammad Siraj is such a player in the playing eleven whose statistics as a batsman are very poor. It is clear from this playing eleven of Team India that it was worried about the batting failure in the first two ODIs and this is the reason why it gave chance to 9 batsmen in the third ODI.

India's playing XI- Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Riyan Parag, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj.
