For the third ODI, only the team playing the World Cup will take the field, in which apart from the return of all the players, two more players have been included.
Young brigade will come under the captaincy of Rahul
Let us tell you that for the first two matches, a young team is going to be fielded under the captaincy of KL Rahul.

Ravindra Jadeja has been chosen as the vice-captain for the first two ODIs. Apart from this, young players like Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan have also got a place in the team. Shreyas Iyer has also become fit to participate in this series. Apart from this, R Ashwin has once again got a place in the team after 21 months. If Akshar Patel is not fit then Ashwin can also get a place in the World Cup team.
World Cup team will play in the third match
Whereas only the World Cup team will get a chance to play in the third i.e. the last ODI match of this series. But Ashwin and Washington Sundar have also been included in the team. In such a situation, it will be special to see how the performance of these players is before the World Cup. Whereas Akshar Patel’s playing will depend on whether he is fit or not. Akshar was recently injured in the Super 4 match of Asia Cup. But BCCI Chairman Ajit Agarkar said that this player can be fit in this series.
