3 big changes Indian playing xi for 3rd t20i against SL: The Indian team is currently busy playing a three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka. With this series, the tenure of Team India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir has started. At the same time, this is also the first series for Suryakumar Yadav as a full-time T20 captain. By defeating Sri Lanka in the first two matches, the Indian team has taken an unassailable lead of 2-0. The last match of the series will now be played on July 30 (Tuesday) at the Pallekele International Stadium.

Due to winning the series, Team India can make some changes in its playing 11 and due to this some players may have to sit out. In this article, we are going to mention 3 such big changes, which we can see in the third T20.

3. Khaleel Ahmed in place of Arshdeep Singh

In both the opening matches against Sri Lanka, Arshdeep Singh made it to the playing 11 and Khaleel Ahmed had to sit out. In such a situation, Khaleel, who is also a left-arm fast bowler, can be given a chance in place of Arshdeep in the third T20. Khaleel made a comeback for the Zimbabwe series but had to sit out as soon as Arshdeep came. Khaleel is also a part of the ODI series starting August 2. In such a situation, to give him game time, captain Suryakumar Yadav can give him a chance in place of Arshdeep in the third T20.

2. Washington Sundar in place of Axar Patel

Akshar Patel, who was seen playing in the first two matches, can also be rested. In his place, Washington Sundar, who won the Player of the Series award against Zimbabwe, can get a chance. Sundar has played for Team India after a long time and has now returned to the ODI squad as well. In such a situation, Akshar can be rested before the ODI series and Sundar can be given a chance to play.

1. Shubman Gill replaces Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson got a chance to play in the second T20 due to Shubman Gill's unfitness but he could not take advantage of it and got out on a golden duck. Due to this, his place is now in doubt for the last T20. In such a situation, if Gill's neck spasm problem is cured, then Samson may be dropped from the playing 11.
