Rajkot
The third match of the T20 series between India and England will be played on 28 January (Tuesday) at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. Team India won by seven wickets in Kolkata T20. Then he defeated the English team by 2 wickets in Chennai T20. Now the Indian team led by Suryakumar Yadav would like to win this match and take an unbeatable lead in the five -match T20 series.
There will be changes in India’s playing-11!
The Rajkot T20 will also eye the Indian team’s playing-11. There may be some changes in the Indian team for this match. All -rounders Shivam Dubey and Ramandeep Singh have joined the Indian team. In such a situation, both of them can be seen playing in this match. Shivam was included in the squad in place of Nitish Kumar Reddy. Nitish was out of this series due to side strain. At the same time, Ramandeep has got a place in the squad due to Rinku Singh being engaged. Rinku is also not available for the third T20 match due to lower back cramps.
During the T20 World Cup 2024, Shiv Dubey was entrusted with the responsibility of adopting an aggressive attitude against the spinners in the middle overs. Now he can prove to be effective in front of Adil Rashid’s leg-spin. Ramandeep Singh also specializes in putting big shots and like Shivam, he can prove to be effective in bowling. Shivam has played 33 T20 matches for India, with 448 runs and 11 wickets in his name. At the same time, Ramandeep has scored 15 runs in 2 T20I and also took a wicket.
If both Shivam Dubey and Ramandeep Singh are included in the playing-11, then Dhruv Jurlel as well as leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi may have to stay out of this match. Bishnoi has not been able to take a single wicket in this series so far. While Jurael could not redeem the opportunity in Chennai T20 and kept on scoring only 4 runs. England announced their playing-11 on January 27 for the Rajkot T20.
Surya-Samson expected a strong game
In this match, everyone’s eyes will be on Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav, who has not been able to do anything special in this series. Apart from Surya, Sanju Samson will also expect a big innings, whose weakness has been revealed on the short ball.

Archer has taken wickets in bowling, although he proved to be very expensive in the last match. Adil Rashid has done well so far.
