Do or die match: Team India will try to save face in the last T20 against England, Captain Iyer can cut the cards of these 3 flops from the playing XI.
The fifth and last decisive match of the five-match T20 International series being played between India and England will be played today at the historic ‘The Rose Bowl’ ground in Southampton. This match will start live today at 7:00 pm Indian time. This match is the last chance for Team India to save its honor and credibility, because in this five-match series, the Indian team has already lost the series by 3-0 (the first match of the series was washed out due to rain). Now it remains to be seen whether captain Shreyas Iyer is able to register a consolation win in Southampton or not. Signs of big change in Team India: 3 flop players will be dropped! To save his face in the strong bastion of England, Indian captain Shreyas Iyer has decided to make 3 big and drastic changes in the playing XI. Young opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi, middle order batsman Tilak Verma and all-rounder Washington Sundar, who are struggling with poor form and poor performance, may be shown the way out of today’s match. The captain is making a strategy to surprise England by replacing these three with new and aggressive faces in the team. Sanju Samson will open, India’s new batting order will be like this. In today’s match, the Indian team can take the field with a completely new and aggressive top order: Explosive opening pair: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is continuously proving to be a flop (only 42 runs in 3 matches), can be thrown out and in his place, swashbuckling wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson can be given the command of opening along with Abhishek Sharma. Middle Order: Wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan will handle the innings at number-3, while captain Shreyas Iyer himself will take the responsibility of batting at number-4. In place of Tilak Verma (13, 24*, 3, 11 runs), who flopped in the last 4 matches, Shivam Dubey can be promoted as all-rounder at number-5 in the team and Suryansh Shedge, the dreaded lower-order finisher of domestic cricket, can be promoted at number-6. Strength will be seen in bowling: Bishnoi-Akshar will handle spin, Arshdeep will be responsible for pace attack. Keeping in mind the pitch of Southampton, the Indian team management can go with a combination of two main spinners and three specialist fast bowlers. The spin department will be headed by star leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi and experienced all-rounder Akshar Patel. At the same time, on the fast bowling front, Prince Yadav, famous Krishna and yorker king Arshdeep Singh will be seen destroying the English batsmen. All-rounder Shivam Dubey will play the role of the fourth fast bowler. India’s probable playing XI for the fifth T20I against England: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (c), Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Suryansh Shedge, Ravi Bishnoi, Prince Yadav, Prasidh Krishna and Arshdeep Singh.
