Suryakumar Yadav-led India will aim to take an unassailable lead in the series when they face England for the 3rd T20I at Rajkot today. The Men in Blue narrowly won the last encounter thanks to a heroic effort from young Tilak Varma and a victory and would be hoping to continue their victory run in the latest clash.

India Vs England Squads:

India: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Axar Patel (vc), Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (wk).

England: Jos Buttler (c), Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wicketkeeper), Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

Will Mohammed Shami play? Any other changes in playing XI?

Indian pacer Mohammed Shami was selected in the Indian team for the white ball series against England after a gap of over a year but the pacer is yet to play a single match in the series. According to latest reports, Mohammed Shami is fit and the Indian team management is trying to keep the pacer safe from injuries. The veteran bowler is likely to make a comeback in the Indian XI during the ODI leg of the tournament.

The Indian team management would likely not want to make too many changes to the winning side with the only exceptions being the return of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh, in case they are back to fitness.
