India Probable Playing 11: The third and last match of the three-match ODI series being played between India and Afghanistan will be played on June 20 (Saturday) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. For this third match, many big changes can be seen in the playing 11 of Team India, which also includes the entry of Harshit Rana. The batting position of some players may also change. So let us know how the playing 11 could look like.
In whose place can Harshit enter?
Harshit can be added to the final eleven in place of Arshdeep Singh. In the second ODI, Arshdeep bowled brilliantly and took 3 wickets. During this period he had spent 45 runs in 9 overs. Therefore, Arshdeep can be rested from the third ODI.
Harshit Rana returns after a long time, missed T20 World Cup and IPL
Harshit played the last match in T20 International against New Zealand in January. After this he was made a part of the Indian squad for the 2026 T20 World Cup. He also played a warm-up match against South Africa before the tournament, but was out due to injury before the tournament started. After this, Harshit also missed the IPL season. Now it will be interesting to see how Harshit performs after his return.
KL Rahul at number-3
In the second ODI played in Lucknow, Rahul was seen batting at number six. Now in the third match, Rahul can come at number three. Gill may slip from third to fourth position. With this, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer will also slip one place each. In this way Rahul can join the top order.
India’s playing 11 could be like this in the third ODI
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (captain), Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Harsh Dubey, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Gurnoor Brar.
