Karun Nair’s Return in Place of Shardul Thakur
According to a report by Express Sports, Indian captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir are going to make four changes. Karun Nair may return to the playing eleven in place of Shardul Thakur. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna may get another chance in the playing eleven in place of fast bowler Anshul Kamboj. Although Prasidh Krishna and Karun Nair have been given opportunities before, both failed to capitalise on them.
Akashdeep to Replace Bumrah
The third change in India’s playing eleven will be Akashdeep in place of Jasprit Bumrah, who could not play the previous match due to back pain. The fourth change will be in the wicketkeeper’s position. Dhruv Jurel will get a chance in place of the injured Rishabh Pant. Jurel has been wicket-keeping for the last two matches, but now he will also be seen batting.
