Players will have to be removed from the winning team
On July 7, when India defeated Zimbabwe by 100 runs, Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dubey were present there. However, it was already decided that these three will not play the second match of the series. All three have to play from the third T20 match itself. This means that captain Shubman Gill will now have to either drop at least three players from his victorious team or put these 'world champion' players on the bench.
Pressure to change the playing eleven
Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal did not get a chance to play in the T20 World Cup as well. Due to this, there will be pressure on captain Shubman Gill and interim coach VVS Laxman to include both of them in the playing XI. All-rounder Shivam Dubey balances the team, so it will be beneficial to include him in the playing XI.
Sanju Samson can replace Dhruv
If we look at the Indian playing XI in the second match, it seems that Sanju Samson can get a chance in place of Dhruv Jurel. Similarly, Shivam Dubey can be included in the playing XI in place of Sai Sudarshan. But Shubman will have to work the hardest to make a place in the top order for Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Struggles at the top of the order
Captain Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma are opening in the current series against Zimbabwe. Abhishek scored a century in the second match. At number three is Rituraj Gaikwad, who played an unbeaten innings of 77 runs in the second match. All three are certain to play in the third T20 match. In such a situation, it is possible that Riyan Parag may have to sit out of the playing XI to make room for Yashasvi Jaiswal. An equation also says that India should make only two changes in their playing XI. Shivam Dubey should be rested for one or two matches and Sanju and Yashasvi should be fielded in place of Dhruv and Sai Sudarshan.
India's probable playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill (captain), Rituraj Gaikwad, Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan and Mukesh Kumar.
