Team India’s Zimbabwe tour may have started with a defeat. But, after that, it has caught the victory train from the 2nd T20I. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian team defeated Zimbabwe by a huge margin of 100 runs in the second T20I. But, now there can be a twist in the story before the third T20I. Changes can be seen in the Indian team. Before the next T20I against Zimbabwe, 3 changes can be seen in Team India’s playing XI, which will mean tampering with the winning combination. Now the question is whether it will affect the performance?
Changes in the third T20I against Zimbabwe will be seen due to those three players, who have reached Harare after the first two T20Is. These include Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dubey. These three players have been part of the T20 World Cup winning team. And, now they can be seen taking on Zimbabwe.
Who will be out of Team India, who will come in?
Now the question is that if Samson, Yashasvi and Dube are included in the playing XI, then who will be out? For this, it is important to first look at the Indian playing XI of the second T20 International which was as follows – Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Rituraj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Sai Sudarshan, Washington Sundar, Mukesh Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan.
Among these 11 players playing in the 2nd T20, those who can get a chance in place of Samson, Yashasvi and Shivam Dube can be Dhruv Jurel, Sai Sudarshan and Riyan Parag. Sanju Samson is a wicketkeeper batter like Dhruv Jurel. Yashasvi is a left-hand batter like Sai Sudarshan. Dube can get Ryan’s place on the basis of his experience. Secondly, he has the tag of World Champion. And thirdly, Ryan did not do anything special in the 1 innings played in the first 2 T20s.
Team India’s playing 11 for the third T20I against Zimbabwe can again be like this:
Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Rituraj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Washington Sundar, Mukesh Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan.
What will be the effect if 3 changes are made in Team India?
Now the question is what will be the effect of these 3 changes? So the first effect will be seen that some big questions will arise in front of Team India. The first is who will open? Sanju Samson will play at number 4 and Shivam Dube in the lower order but where will Yashasvi Jaiswal play? Will Shubman Gill demote himself in the batting order? It will be interesting to see how Team India finds answers to these confusing questions.
