IND vs BAN 3rd T20I Toss & Playing 11: India Opt To Bat & Make One Change To Their Line Up

IND vs BAN 3rd T20I Toss & Playing 11: Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh in the third and final T20I at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday (October 12).

With the series already in the bag, the Men in Blue made one change to their playing 11 from the one that won the opening two matches as pacer Arshdeep Singh made way for spinner Ravi Bishnoi.

Bishnoi will join Washington Sundar and Varun Chakaravarthy as specialist spin options, while the pace attack will be spearheaded by Mayank Yadav with Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy playing supporting roles.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, made a couple of changes from the team that lost the second T20I at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi earlier in the week. Tanzid Hasan and Mahedi Hasan replaced Jaker Ali and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

At the toss, Indian captain Suryakumar said, "Looks a good wicket. These are the things we want to do. Set a target and defend the total with dew around. I think it's important to continue with the good habits, it will have a good impact on us.

"We just want to give freedom, the guys want to make an impact. Happy with the way the guys are playing. Arshdeep misses out, Bishnoi comes in."

The Bangladesh skipper Shanto said, "I am happy to bowl first, toss doesn't matter. We have two changes. Tamim and Mahedi are in. We need to take responsibilities as batters. We need to improve, need to execute our plans. Hopefully we do something special in the 40 overs."
