The third and most decisive match of the exciting ODI series being played between India and England has started at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground. In this great match, England captain Harry Brook has won the toss and decided to bat first. However, with the beginning of the match, a very disappointing news came to the fore for Indian cricket fans. Team India’s main and world’s most dangerous fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is completely out of the playing eleven of this decisive match due to a serious knee injury. Indian captain Shubman Gill confirmed this at the time of the toss and said that apart from Bumrah’s injury, a total of three major changes have been made in the Indian team keeping in mind the team balance. Bumrah’s injury increased captain Shubman Gill’s tension: KL Rahul and Prince Yadav returned to the team. In the series decider match to be held at the historic ground of Lord’s, the Indian team has been forced to make a big change in its strategy. Captain Shubman Gill revealed during the toss that Jasprit Bumrah has suffered a knee injury due to which he was not available for selection. Apart from this, the team’s all-rounder Washington Sundar was out injured even before the start of the match, while all-rounder Shivam Dube, who played in the last match, has been rested for this match. In place of these three players, wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul has returned to the Indian team, who could not play in the last match due to illness. Also, Prince Yadav and left-arm star fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, who have performed brilliantly in domestic cricket, have been recalled to the playing eleven. Team India came with four fast bowlers: England decided to bat after winning the toss on Lord’s pitch. After winning the toss, England captain Harry Brook said that this pitch of Lord’s looks very good for batting and the team will try to put pressure on the Indian team by putting a big score on the board. One change has also been made in the English team, where Josh Tongue has been included in place of Saqib Mahmood. On the other hand, Indian captain Shubman Gill said that he too would have decided to bowl first after winning the toss because fast bowlers get good help in the initial overs at Lord’s. In the absence of Bumrah, India has fielded in this match with four specialist fast bowlers (Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav). Gill accepted the mistakes of the last match and said that due to continuous loss of wickets in the middle overs, the team could not make a big score, but in this match the bowlers will try to achieve quick successes. India vs England 3rd ODI: This is the final playing eleven of both the teams. The Indian team, which has come with the intention of capturing the series at Lord’s, is showing depth in its batting, while the youth will have a big responsibility in bowling. Indian team (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (captain), Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.
