SA vs IND 3rd T20:-Changes are expected in the Indian team’s playing 11 in the third T20 match against South Africa. Know who will get a place? 
SA vs IND 3rd T20:-The third T20 match between India and South Africa will be played at Super Sports Park in Centurion, and some changes can be seen in the Indian team. Team India’s batting has looked weak so far in this series, especially when the rest of the batsmen apart from Sanju Samson have struggled to score runs. Despite Sanju’s strong innings in the first match, the team had to face defeat, and in the second match, the team could not even touch the figure of 130 due to lack of runs from his bat. In such a situation, the hope of change in the batting line-up in the third match increases.
Possible changes
1. Rinku Singh’s performance:
Rinku Singh made his international cricket debut on 18 August 2023 and has so far scored 499 runs in 21 innings in 28 matches. His average is good, around 50, but the expected fast and big innings have not come from him. So far only 3 half-centuries have been scored, and his performance has been quite below in the last few matches. His scores in the last three matches have been 8, 11 and 9, which is worrying for a finisher. In such a situation, the team management may consider some other option in place of Rinku.
2. Abhishek Sharma’s struggle:
Abhishek Sharma may have scored a century against Zimbabwe, but since then he has been struggling to score runs consistently. He has scored 170 runs in 10 T20 matches so far, but has not been able to score even 50 runs in the last 5 innings. He scored 35 runs in 3 matches against Bangladesh and has been able to score only 11 runs against South Africa so far. In such a situation, the team can give a chance to some other player by dropping him from the next matches.
Possible playing 11
The team management may consider new options to strengthen the batting. The probable playing 11 can be as follows:
Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper) – He has been the most reliable batsman of the team, and a big innings will be expected from him.
Suryakumar Yadav – Can give both stability and aggression to the middle order.
Hardik Pandya – His all-round ability is important for the team in both batting and bowling.
Tilak Verma – Young player of the team who can score fast runs in the middle order.
Rinku Singh or Ramandeep Singh – Ramandeep can be given a chance as a finisher in place of Rinku.
Abhishek Sharma / Jitesh Sharma – Jitesh Sharma can be included in place of Abhishek, who can take the innings forward at a fast pace.
Axar Patel – Can remain in the team as a spin all-rounder.
Varun Chakraborty – Will strengthen the spin department.
Arshdeep Singh – Can trouble the opening batsmen of the opposition team with his swing bowling.
Ravi Bishnoi – Can play an important role as a leg spinner.
Avesh Khan – Has the ability to take wickets with his fast bowling.
In the third match, it will be important for India to strengthen their batting. Big innings are expected from players like Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav. If new players are given a chance in place of Rinku Singh and Abhishek Sharma, they can provide better balance to the team. There is no expectation of change in bowling, but this change in batting can make the team stronger.
