The third match of the five-match T20 series between India and England is set to be played on Tuesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Like in the last two T20 matches, some major changes in the India’s playing XI can be seen in this match too. What might come as a big surprise for fans, Captain Virat Kohli can opt to sit out of the third T20 match and senior batsman Rohit Sharma will play his first match of the ongoing T20 series.

India vs England T20 series is very important for the hosts in view of the T20 World Cup, slated to be played in October-November this year. Team India wants to give maximum opportunity to its young players in this series. Hence, Ishaan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav got a chance to make their debut in Ind vs Eng 2nd T20I.
Ishaan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav will most likely play Ind vs Eng 3rd T20I. Kishan proved his worth by playing a heroic 56-run innings while Suryakumar did not get a chance to bat.
Rohit Sharma was rested for the first two T20 matches. In such a situation, to ensure Rohit Sharma’s spot in India’s playing XI either captain Kohli or KL Rahul will have to sit out in today’s game.
KL Rahul has failed to play big innings in the first two matches. Team India’s management can give KL Rahul another chance to regain his rhythm. Therefore, this can be another reason why most likely captain Virat Kohli can be benched to make way for Rohit Sharma’s return and ensure Rahul gets another chance.
No further changes are expected in the third match. Hardik Pandya bowled four overs in the previous match. Even in the third T20, Pandya can be seen as the fifth bowler.
