After winning the series against England, Indian team management has decided to rest Hardik Pandya in the last and final match that will be held on February 2, at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

To give Hardik a breather before the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, the 31-year-old all-rounder will not be part of the playing XI.

In place of Hardik, Punjab all-rounder Ramandeep Singh could get a chance to play for India. Shivam Dube who won the Player of the Match award in the last game, might also get some rest. Dube suffered a concussion after getting hit on the helmet by a bouncer from Jamie Overton.

In the bowling department, Shami might get some off time as Arshdeep Singh might continue in the last T20I against England.

However, despite the series in bag, India's concerns remain the same -- Samson and Suryakumar's lean patch with the bat.

Samson, who missed the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Kerala, came into the series evidently lacking match practice and has struggled against the express pace of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer who have troubled the Indian opener consistently.

With only 35 runs in four matches so far, Samson's returns have been disappointing but it is unlikely that India would want to tinker with their opening combination at the top given that an all-out approach is a core principle of their T20 cricket.

World number four Suryakumar has gone without a significant score since his 75 against Bangladesh eight matches ago.

The Indian skipper has two ducks and scores of 12 and 14 to show in this series even though luck has favoured him during the toss.

'Sky' will be keen to shrug off the string of poor performances when he returns to his home ground Wankhede Stadium here, a venue that has played an indomitable role in building his reputation as a T20 specialist.

Rinku Singh's 30 on Friday settled a lot of concerns around the swashbuckling left-hander, whose form and fitness were both in question going into the fourth match.

Hardik Pandya and Dube's fifties powered India's charge in the fourth T20I with the all-rounders filling in for the batters' failure but another batting-friendly wicket here will give the Indians a chance to make amends one last time in the shortest format.

Spoilt for choices in the bowling department, India could rest and play both their front-line pacers Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami through the course of this series. But Sunday's contest could be another opportunity for the team management to test the readiness of Shami who is back after a lengthy injury-forced lay-off.

For England, it has been a series of more misses than hits but they have been outplayed generally across departments.

Harry Brook finally got a big knock on the board on Friday but his struggles persist against spin and particularly Chakravarthy, while young guns like Jacob Bethell and Jamie Smith have had their struggles on their maiden Indian sojourn.
