#4 Virat Kohli (Captain)

Team India captain Virat Kohli has returned to form. He has given a befitting reply to his critics by putting Fifty in 2 consecutive matches.

#5 Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav made his debut in the second match of the series, but unfortunately, he did not get a chance to bat. The team management was criticized after putting him on the bench in the last match. Captain Virat Kohli would like to try him before the T20 World Cup 2021, in which case he can be included in the playing eleven.

#6 Rishabh Pant (wk)

Team India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is currently in excellent form. He may not have scored any half-century in this series, but he has batted recklessly against English bowlers. He is seen on the field as a match-winner.

#7 Hardik Pandya

Team India often gets the benefit of Hardik Pandya’s all-around skill, in such a situation, it is considered certain to play in this match.

#8 Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar has bowled well in the last few matches, although he hopes to improve his performance.

#9 Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur proved to be quite expensive in the last match, but it is expected that Kohli would like to give him another chance at the moment.

#10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who returned to Team India after a long time, is expected to take more wickets.

#11 Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal had scored 41 runs in the third T20 match at an average of 10.25 in 4 overs, but he is a bowler who can turn the match anytime. Virat would not like to keep him out of the playing XI.
