The third T20 match between India and England will be held in Nottingham on 7th July. Team India has lost the last match of this series and the first match was washed out due to rain. If Team India wants to win the T20 series, then it will have to win the Nottingham T20 at any cost. The question is that which playing eleven will the Indian team field and be able to win the match? In the last match, Team India had dropped Sanju Samson and played Vaibhav Suryavanshi in his place, but now news is coming out that Samson is going to play in the third T20.

Will Sanju Samson return to the playing eleven?

According to media reports coming from England, Sanju Samson is going to play in the third T20 match. He was given rest in the last match but now perhaps Team India will change its decision. There are reports that both Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Suryavanshi are going to play together but only Suryavanshi will open. Meaning, in the third match, Suryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma will open and Sanju Samson will play at number 3. Now it is a big question in whose place he will be given a chance. Let us tell you that there are many left-handed batsmen in the middle order of Team India. Except Shreyas Iyer, all the players bat with their left hand. If Sanju Samson comes at number 3, there will be some variety in the batting order.

Ravi Bishnoi will also not get a chance?

It is difficult for Ravi Bishnoi, who gave away 60 runs in 4 overs in the second T20 against England, to get a chance in the playing eleven. This player had given away 29 runs in his last over against England, due to which Team India lost the won match. Otherwise, Team India had a strong hold on this match. The big thing is that Ravi Bishnoi had also bowled three no balls in this match and after these three balls, the England team had scored 16 runs on free hit. After such a poor performance, it is difficult for this player to get a chance. Prince Yadav can be given a chance in his place. Or Washington Sundar can play in the playing eleven.

India's probable playing eleven for the third T20

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Verma, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty and Prince Yadav.
