After defeating England in the first two matches of the five-match T20 series, when Team India will enter the third T20 in Rajkot, its eyes will be on scoring a hat-trick of wins and also sealing the series. The England team will play a T-20 match for the first time in Rajkot. In such a situation, she may once again appear helpless in front of the Indian team. Toss will also play an important role in this match. Whereas in Rajkot, stars like Arshdeep Singh and Suryakumar Yadav can make big records. If things remain in favor of India then Team India will rule in Rajkot also.
The third T20 match between India and England will be played at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, Gujarat. India has so far played 5 T20 matches on this ground and has won 4. While faced defeat in one. On this ground, 4 matches have been won by winning the toss while only 1 has been won by losing the toss. The team batting first won 3 matches and the team bowling first won two matches. The average score while batting first here is 189 runs. While the highest score is 228 runs.
Team India's star pacer Arshdeep Singh can score a special century in the match to be played in Rajkot. He is the Indian bowler who has taken the highest number of 98 wickets in this format. If Arshdeep takes 2 more wickets in tomorrow's match, he will register 100 T-20I wickets in his name.
Team India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has failed in both the matches. But if his bat works in Rajkot, he will also make a special record. As soon as he hits 5 sixes, Surya will register 150 T-20I sixes. Currently he has 145 sixes in his name. Rohit Sharma is number 1 in this matter. Rohit is the Indian batsman who has hit the most number of T20 sixes (205).
Like the first two matches, England has already announced its playing eleven for the third match also. However, the surprising thing is that the same 11 players with whom the England team had fielded in Chennai are going to be seen on the field in Rajkot also.
England's playing eleven: Jos Battler (captain), Ben Duckett, Phil Salt, Harry Brook, Liam Livingston, Jamie Smith, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Adil Rashid.
Team India looks full of confidence after winning both the initial matches. The players of the Indian team have performed brilliantly. There is no scope for much change in Team India. After the Kolkata T20, Rinku Singh was ruled out for two matches due to back spasm problem. Whereas Nitish Kumar Reddy was ruled out of the entire series after suffering a muscle strain. In place of these two, Shivam Dubey and Ramandeep Singh were entered in the Indian squad. Either one of the two may get a chance in Rajkot. Whereas Dhruv Jurel, who played Chennai T20, is certain to be out.
India's probable playing eleven: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dubey/Ramandeep Singh, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakraborty.
