India to play 3rd T20 against Bangladesh on October 12
India will play the final T20I game against Bangladesh on October 12. They are already leading the series, 2-0, and have a fair chance of whitewashing the visitors. Moreover, India can make a few changes in the final game, like including Harshit Rana in the squad.
He has a high chance of making his debut in the ongoing series under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has included him in the squad from the Sri Lanka series, but he didn't get a chance to play in any game. This is the perfect time to add him to the squad as India have already won the series.
India's likely XI: Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Sanju Samson, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana
