The third and decisive match of the 3-match ODI series between India and England is being played at Lord’s. England captain Harry Brook has won the toss and decided to bat first. Before this match, Team India has suffered a big blow. Jasprit Bumrah is not playing due to knee injury. KL Rahul has returned to the playing XI.
Washington Sundar was out of this series due to injury in the second ODI. In such a situation, Team India had to make some changes in the playing XI. Despite Rahul’s return, Ishan Kishan has been successful in saving his place. Shivam Dubey has been shown the way out. Arshdeep Singh and Prince Yadav have got a chance.

Team India entered with a spinner
The Indian team has entered Lord’s with only one spinner in the form of Axar Patel. Four fast bowlers are playing. Shubman said during the toss that the spinners are not getting much help in the middle overs, so we have decided to play four fast bowlers. The Indian captain also said that if he had won the toss, he would have preferred to bat first.
Shubman believes that the reason for the defeat in the last match was losing wickets in bunches in the middle overs. He expressed hope that if early wickets are taken in this match, then Team India will be able to take hold of the match.
