ND vs SA: The third match of the five-match T20 series between India and South Africa will be played at Dharamsala. It will be interesting to see whether Sanju Samson will be included in Team India's playing XI for this match, or whether Team India will continue to rely on Shubman Gill. Let's explore what major changes may occur in Team India's playing XI after the defeat in the second match.
Who is next in the series?
Two matches of the five-match T20 series between India and South Africa have been played. Team India won the first match, while South Africa won the second. Therefore, India will once again aim to gain an advantage in the home series in the third match.
Why might Shubman Gill be out?
Shubman Gill, who hasn't scored a single half-century in the last 14 T20 Internationals for Team India, may now be sidelined. Gill is the vice-captain of Team India's T20 team, but vice-captains have been sidelined before. Gill has scored just 263 runs at an average of 26.3 in the last 14 matches. Therefore, he could be dropped and Sanju Samson could be given a chance.
How will the middle order be?
Besides Gill, Abhishek Sharma is in form as the second opener and is likely to play. Suryakumar Yadav will be at number three, Tilak Verma in the middle order, and Jitesh Sharma could also be seen playing as a wicketkeeper-batsman.
How many all-rounders will there be?
All-rounders include Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Axar Patel. Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Varun Chakravarthy will once again handle the bowling duties. Kuldeep Yadav may once again miss the Dharamsala T20.
Team India's Predicted Playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakraborty.
