Team India: The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka (SL vs IND) was played in Colombo on Sunday. Team India had to face a humiliating defeat in this match and in such a situation, now we may see some changes in the playing eleven in the third match.

The first ODI match was a tie and in this match Team India was on the verge of victory, while a similar scene was seen in the second match as well. The Indian team was moving strongly towards the target in this match but due to the middle order they had to face defeat.

Apart from Rohit Sharma, all the batsmen flopped

In fact, in this ODI series, only captain Rohit Sharma has been able to perform well in batting from India so far. He gave Team India a great start by scoring 64 runs in 44 balls in the second match but the middle order batsmen could not perform well.

Team India has not been able to win the match due to the failure of the middle order batsmen in two consecutive matches. In this match, India had to face defeat by 32 runs and with this they cannot win the series now. If Team India wins the last match, then this series can end in a draw.

Rahul, Iyer and Siraj may be discharged

Despite coming close to victory in two consecutive matches, Team India has not been able to win the match. In such a situation, some changes can be seen in the team's playing eleven in the third match. The first name in this series is that wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul can be dropped and Rishabh Pant can be given a chance in his place.

Shreyas Iyer can also be shown the way out of the playing eleven of the third match. Iyer was out after scoring 7 runs in the second ODI and he could not perform well in the first match as well. In such a situation, young player Riyan Parag can get a chance to make his debut in his place.

Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has looked very weak on this tour and in such a situation, he can also be dropped from the final eleven. Siraj bowled well in the second match but he conceded a lot of runs in the last overs and in such a situation, young pacer Harshit Rana can be given a chance in his place.

This could be the playing eleven of Team India

Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Riyan Parag, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana.
