The team under Suryakumar Yadav is expected to go for an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series as the first two T20 Internationals against the visiting England finished on dominating victories. The third T20 will be staged at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, and no story is expected to be different with the pitch expected to be a treat for batters.
Meanwhile, the Three Lions, under Jos Buttler, would be desperate to make a comeback and stay alive in the series. England’s batting lineup–reputed for its hard-hitting approach–will look to capitalize on the Rajkot wicket that is as flat as it gets, offering absolutely no assistance to any bowler.
India’s management could also make changes in their bowling line-up depending on Rajkot conditions. On a batting-friendly pitch, Mohammed Shami, who has a good record in such conditions, could replace the leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. While batting coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed that Shami is fit, his final inclusion would depend on head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Suryakumar Yadav.
“Shami is fully fit, and there’s a plan for him not just for the T20s but also for the upcoming ODIs and Champions Trophy. It’s more about workload management,” said Kotak during the pre-match briefing.
In the practice sessions ahead of the game, Shivam Dube and Ramandeep Singh were seen replacing players in practice sessions, hinting at changes. However, Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar have been performing well in the series and might be kept.

With Rajkot offering little turn, India might pack their fast bowling artillery. Harshit Rana is an option should the team management decide to give Shami a breather to keep him fresh for the latter part of the series. Both Varun Chakravarthy and Arshdeep Singh will contribute immensely to the Indian bowling attack.
Team England is known for its traditional deep batting lineup. They would try to leverage Rajkot’s batting-friendly conditions and put some pressure on Team India. Batters like Harry Brook, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone must perform well if they want to challenge Team India’s supremacy. They are keeping the same team as it was in the previous T20I match.
So far, the India team has been dominating over England in this T20I series. India is leading the series with 2-0 and maintaining the legacy in T20I. The men in blue look pretty confident and set to win the 3rd T20I also in Rajkot as they have a good history in this ground.
