The team management should be ready to change Suryakumar Yadav’s batting position. It is estimated that India should be able to take advantage of the fact that the player is playing in good form. Suryakumar batted at number five in the second ODI, below Rishabh Pant. Since Suryakumar is needed in the middle order for a long time, India will benefit if he bats at number 4.

Pandya should be considered as a third seamer and not as a sixth bowler. The player is currently bowling as a fourth seamer. In the first two matches, the player bowled only 10 overs. Despite bowling well, Pandya was criticized for not giving him more overs. Although the team management’s intention is to reduce the workload as an all-rounder, it is hoped that Pandya will be responsible in using him in the crucial match.
One of the crucial changes in the team is the omission of Pradit Krishna. If Shardul Thakur is played instead, India will get the services of one more batsman. Krishna conceded 26 runs in 5 overs in the first game and 53 runs in 8 overs in the second game. Krishna conceded more runs in the second match which was a setback for India. The player is not able to bowl accurately.
