Indian Team Playing 11: Three big changes can be seen in Team India’s playing XI in the third T20 to be played against Zimbabwe.
Indian Team Playing 11 IND vs ZIM: The Indian team will play the third match of the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe today i.e. on Wednesday, July 10. There is a change in Team India’s playing XI in this match. One change in the team is confirmed because three players will be added to the team from the third match, who were not available for the first two matches. In such a situation, a total of three changes can be seen in the playing XI of Team India captained by Shubman Gill today.
Earlier, Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal were also selected for the Zimbabwe series, but all three players were with Team India for the 2024 T20 World Cup. The World Cup team India could not return home on time, due to which all three players were replaced by Jitesh Sharma, Harshit Rana and Sai Sudarshan for the first two T20s against Zimbabwe. Now before the third T20, Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal have joined Team India. So in such a situation, let us know what changes can be seen in the team.
The first change is sure to be in the form of Sai Sudarshan, who was made a part of the playing eleven of the second T20. Sudarshan was included in the team in place of fast bowler Khalil Ahmed. Now Sudarshan will not be a part of the Indian squad from the third T20. In such a situation, opener batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal can be included in the playing eleven in place of Sudarshan or left-arm fast bowler Khalil Ahmed can return. If Jaiswal joins the playing eleven, then Shubman Gill can come to bat at number three and Abhishek Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal can get the responsibility of opening.
Apart from this, these two changes can happen
The second change in the team can be seen in the form of wicketkeeper. In the third T20, Sanju Samson can replace wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel. Sanju was part of India’s T20 World Cup squad. However, he did not get a chance to play a single match.
The third change in the team can be in the form of all-rounder Shivam Dubey. Washington Sundar appeared as an all-rounder in both the opening T20s against Zimbabwe, whom Shivam Dubey can replace. Dubey played all the matches of the 2024 T20 World Cup for Team India.
Probable playing XI of Team India in the third T20 against Zimbabwe
Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill (captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.
