IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Rajat Patidar Any Day Better Than Sanju Samson, Fans React After Back To Back Ducks Of RR Captain Against Sri Lanka


After a brief delay due to a wet outfield, Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and opted to field against India in the final T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday.

India have already clinched the series after taking an unassailable 2-0 lead with their dominant triumphs in the first two games. Sri Lanka would look to gain some winning momentum before they head into the ODI series which will begin on August 2.

Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka said they are are going to bowl first. “Looks like a dry pitch. There was a batting collapse…when the ball gets older its a bit harder to bat. We have planned a little bit differently. One change, Wickramasinghe comes in for Shanaka.”

India captain Suryakumar Yadav confirmed four changes in the side. (IND vs SL Live Streaming 3rd T20I: When And Where To Watch India vs Sri Lanka Match Live On TV, Mobile Apps, Online)

Fans even suggested picking KL Rahul and Rajat Patidar ahead of Samson or Pant in the T20I format for Team India on social media.

“Would’ve liked to chase as well with the weather around. Becomes difficult for the bowling team to control the ball later. We have four guys resting – Hardik, Axar, Rishabh and Arshdeep. We spoke about the brand of cricket we want to play and it’s about topping it up every game and being the best version of ourselves,” said SKY after toss.
