🏏England tour of India 2025: 3rd T20I: 28/01/25 at 7:00 PM IST🏏 - Page 2

What they said:

"Every player would have different plans and they all have different areas and different ways to play. So, I have to just see that they are comfortable (with their game) and then what I can aid where they get benefitted" - Sitanshu Kotak, on his role as a batting coach.

"You've got to believe, haven't you? It's no good sitting here saying 'I think that's it'. We've got three games to play and three chances of a win. There was a big gulf in the first game but it was much tighter and entertaining in the last game. If we can close the gap again, hopefully we can get the win in this one" - Mark Wood on England's chances in the series.

Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy had a rare off day in Chennai, proving slightly expensive. However, they will aim to bounce back and spearhead a disciplined collective effort, which will be crucial in challenging bowling conditions.

Jofra Archer too registered his most expensive T20 figures in the last match but Mark Wood backed the premier quick to be back at his best. "I don't think McCullum wants us to worry about runs too much," said Wood in reference to bowling on flat decks, and stressed that England's focus will be on wickets and accuracy, even if the pitch doesn't support them.

With a 2-0 cushion to bank on, skipper Suryakumar and head coach Gautam Gambhir could decide to bring veteran pacer Shami into the playing XI while Shivam Dube is another player who could be thrown in the mix, in place of Jurel.

At the top, no changes are expected, with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma opening for the hosts. Tilak Varma has made the No. 3 spot his own with some fine performances, while captain Suryakumar would be keen to return to form with a better show at the No. 4 position.

Thanks didi ! Best of luck both teams.. Hope Surya comes into his own today 🔥

A win in Rajkot would seal the series for India with two matches to go. Worryingly for them, though, England did a much better job of adapting to their spinners and bowling attack in general in the second T20I than they did in the first. However, it is highly unlikely that India would change anything going into the third T20I, unless they decide to give Mohammed Shami a surprise spot in the eleven.
