He won by 67 runs in the first ODI in Guwahati and by 4 wickets in the second ODI at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The stars of the game were Virat Kohli who scored a century in the first match and spinner Kuldeep Yadav who took three wickets in the second match. India made only one change from the first match to the second match of the series. Senior spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was replaced by Kuldeep Yadav. The change was successful.
Fans are waiting to see if India will make any changes in the playing eleven in the third ODI. There is no possibility of significant changes in the batting line-up. As the ODI World Cup is going to be held in the year, the team will try to get all the main players to play as many matches as possible.
India are unlikely to make any major changes in the third ODI. The batting line-up is likely to remain the same. But two changes are likely in the bowling line-up. Pacer Mohammad Shami may be dropped by India. Shami is one of those bowlers who has not contributed much in the series. Arshdeep Singh is likely to be tested instead. The possibility of playing all-rounder Washington Sundar cannot be ruled out. If so, Axar Patel will be replaced. Both are equally brilliant in batting and bowling. There may be other changes in the squad if the team management decides to test the bench strength.
Likely XI:
Openers: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill
Middle Row: Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicket keeper)
All Rounders: Hardik Pandya (Vice Captain), Axar Patel/Washington Sundar
Spinners: Kuldeep Yadav
Pacers: Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj, Umran Malik
India Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Axar Patel/Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj, Umran Malik .
