In the third T20 against Sri Lanka, the Indian team has taken a decision which is really surprising. Team India has left out two big players from its playing eleven. In which one name belongs to KL Rahul. Team India replaced KL Rahul with Rishabh Pant and along with him Arshdeep Singh was dropped, replaced by Ryan Parag. This will be his debut match.
Injustice with KL Rahul?
The decision to exclude KL Rahul from the playing eleven is very strange. Because he batted well in the first ODI, although Team India could not win that match. He flopped in the second ODI but the big thing is that he came in to bat at number seven. Not only that, Team India dropped its strike bowler Arshdeep Singh, who proved costly in the last two matches. Team India fielded in the third T20I with only one fast bowler, Mohammad Siraj.
9 batsmen in playing eleven
In the third ODI, the Indian team gave a chance to 9 players who can bat in their playing eleven. Apart from Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, the team has players like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Ryan Parag, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar who can bat. Apart from this, Kuldeep Yadav also bats. Mohammad Siraj is the only player in the playing eleven whose batsman statistics are very bad. It is clear from this playing XI of Team India that they were worried about the batting failure in the first two ODIs and that is why they allowed 9 batsmen in the third ODI.
