India and England are facing each other in the third game of the five-match T20I series at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium from today(February 15).
In this match, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has won the toss and elected to bat first.
In this match, team India has made some significant changes due to injury concerns of some star players. According to an update coming out from the ground, the Bradman Of Indian Domestic Cricket Sarfaraz Khan, and the young wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel are making their Test debut for India.
During this moment, the father of Sarfaraz Khan, Naushad Khan was also present and it was a delightful moment for him to see him playing for India.
During the toss, Rohit Sharma said, “We’re going to bat first. We’ve made some changes, made four changes. Some injuries and some guys coming back from the last game. Two debutants – Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel. Siraj and Jadeja are back.”
Indian captain further added, “Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar miss out. Looks a good pitch, better than the last two we’ve played on. Rajkot is known to be a good pitch but it’ll deteriorate as it goes. The guys have stood up and done the job for the team when it was needed. The next three Test matches will be as exciting as the first two. Need to keep our focus here and see how we can do well.”
