In the first full assignment of 2024 the Men in Blue welcome Afghanistan for a three-match T20I series. The Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium Mohali will host the series opener on Thursday (January 11). Adding full stop all the questions rumours the Indian fans are over the moon see Rohit T20I captain return along with the run-machine Kohli in the squad. However the Head Coach Rahul Dravid has confirmed that Kohli will miss the opening T20I due to personal reasons. India's very own Mr 360 Suryakumar Yadav who led the side in South Africa drew the three-match series 1-1 will miss this series and the entire domestic season due to an ankle injury following which he was diagnosed with sports hernia for which the stylish right-hander will soon undergo surgery. Hardik Pandya who is deemed as India's future captain has been in the headlines for the recent trade with Mumbai Indians (MI) and being named as the franchise's skipper for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) Season despite MI retaining Rohit Sharma will miss this series as the star all-rounder continues his recovery from an ankle injury he sustained in the ODI World Cup 2023. In addition to these the management has decided to rest Ravindra Jadeja Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj while Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan miss out as well. Hitman Rohit will be opening with young dasher Yashasvi Jaiswal with Ruturaj Gaikwad (finger injury) missing out. In the absence of Kohli Shubman Gill is the next best fit for the most important number three position. Tilak Varma Sanju Samson who is back in the T20I set-up after a long time and Rinku Singh will take care of the middle order. Samson's inclusion means Jitesh Sharma might not feature despite impressive performances recently. Arshdeep Singh Avesh Khan and Mukesh Kumar are the preferred three-man seam attack. Either Kuldeep Yadav or Ravi Bishnoi will partner with Axar Patel in the spin department. In what was a big blow to the tourists Rashid Khan the regular T20I skipper of Afghanistan who travelled with the squad to India has been ruled out of the series after failing to prove his fitness on the eve of the opening game. Rashid missed the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) due to lower-back surgery and also missed the recently concluded three-match T20I series against the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Ibrahim Zadran will lead the Afghan Atalans for the second consecutive series with a 2-1 win against UAE in the recently concluded assignment being the first. Mujeeb Ur Rahman after being rusticated from the Melbourne Renegades squad after a few games due to the cancellation of NOCs by the Afghanistan Cricket Board is back in the camp and will hold the key for the visitors in the absence of Rashid. Noor Ahmad Qais Ahmad Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen-ul-Haq are the rest of the known faces in the bowling department with the experienced Mohammad Nabi Karim Janat Azmatullah Omarzai and Gulbadin Naib are the all-rounders. Rahmat Shah Rahmanullah Gurbaz Najibullah Zadran and Zazai are the top batters who have been putting consistent performances for the touring party. Afghanistan in pursuit of its first win against India will come hard at the hosts with healthy IPL experience on its back. Can they spring a surprise on India and hinder their final leg of World Cup preparations? Rohit is set to join Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top of the order. And with Kohli unavailable in Mohali Shubman will take the No.3 spot. Samson might take the gloves after his century show in South Africa.

It was an extraordinary day of Test match cricket as ball dominated the bat yesterday. India get the first-innings lead. It was the pace bowler's paradise as 23 wickets fell on the first day for 270 runs. At the end of it all the Test match is nicely poised with India having their slight noses in front but South Africa are not out of it by any means. Today's play will be crucial for both sides. Let's recap you how day 1 panned out. The Proteas lost de Zorzi and Stubbs cheaply. It was South African skipper Dean Elgar who won the toss and elected to bat first on a challenging surface. Little did he know what was to follow thereafter. South Africa were blown away by a certain Mohammed Siraj as wickets fell at regular intervals. Only two players crossed double digits in David Bedingham. Kyle Verreynne as they scored 12 and 15 respectively. The rest of them fell for single digits as South Africa were bowled out for 55 in the first session of play in 23.2 overs. Mohammed Siraj was the star of the show with figures of 6/15 in 9 overs. Mukesh Kumar picked up a couple of wickets in his 2.2 overs. While Jasprit Bumrah picked up a couple of wickets for 25 runs in 8 overs. Only 4 bowlers were required to be used by the Indians. In reply India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck. Shubman Gill and skipper Rohit Sharma built a partnership of 55 runs for the second wicket with Rohit scoring 39 off 50 balls while Shubman Gill scored 36 off 55 balls. Both getting starts and getting out. Virat Kohli came in and looked at ease as he held the innings together with his 46 off 59 balls and top scored in the innings. India were 153/4 at one stage but then shockingly lost 6 wickets for 0 runs in a span of 12 balls to be bowled out for 153 with an overall lead of 98 runs. Wickets were shared by the South African pacers. Kagiso Rabada Lungi Ngidi and Nandre Burger all picked up three wickets apiece while there was a run out in the innings as well. Faced with a deficit of 98 runs South Africa put on an improved batting display. The openers Aiden Markram Dean Elgar put on 37 runs for the first wicket. Dean Elgar in his final innings fell for 12 to Mukesh Kumar. David Bedingham has just come into the crease. Aiden Markram is holding the innings together with his 36* off 51 balls as South Africa ended Day 1 in their second innings at 62/3 after 17 overs. Shubman Gill completes 1000 Test runs. Three bowlers used by India so far in this innings. Mukesh Kumar picked up a couple of wickets while Jasprit Bumrah got rid of Tristan Stubbs with a beauty. Siraj is still wicketless while Prasidh Krishna is yet to be introduced into the attack. South Africa win the toss and opted to bat first India make two changes whereas South Africa make three. Tristan Stubbs making his Test debut Elgar opens the batting in his final Test. Siraj draws first blood by dismissing Markram on two Elgar chops one back onto the stumps to give Bumrah his first and fall on four Debutant Stubbs departs on three as the Indian pace duo of Bumrah and Siraj breathed fire South Africa were reduced to 15/4. As a strangle down leg ended de Zorzi’s stay at the crease on two. Rohit starts positively and hits Ngidi for three boundaries in the second over KG Rabada draws first blood for South Africa by dismissing Jaiswal on a duck. Burger is greeted with three boundaries by the Indian skipper 50 comes up for India in the eighth over. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

For all the hype around India being favourites to secure an away series victory against South Africa they were outclassed inside three days of the opening Test. Despite the inexperience factor and the injury to skipper Temba Bavuma. The likes of Marco Jansen Nandre Burger David Bedingham and Tony de Zorzi displayed maturity and supported seniors Kagiso Rabada and Dean Elgar - to register an innings and 32-run win over the two-time WTC finalists. Rohit Sharma the India skipper didn’t offer excuses for India’s abject surrender. “We were not good enough to win Rohit said. If we have to win Test matches we have to come together collectively and we didn't do that. Guys have visited South Africa before we know what to expect and everyone has their own plan. We were challenged we didn't adapt well. India would look for a complete performance to end the tour on a high. All eyes would be on their seniors Rohit Virat Kohli KL Rahul and Bumrah as the visitors hunt for a series-levelling victory. India batters desperately need a mixture of the patience exhibited by Rahul during his 101-run knock in the first innings at SuperSport Park. The fluency shown by Kohli in the second innings. In the bowling department India would aim to strike in pairs to shoot down the Proteas. South Africa on the other hand have an early lead. It’s about keeping their plans simple and wrapping things up at Newlands. If the hosts can continue their dominance it’ll go down as an incredible result given they lost the ODI series 2-1. They would need the same discipline and clarity to stifle India. Being 1-0 up in a series is a position of strength but South Africa would be aware that India are no pushovers and are capable of bouncing back. Best example - 36 all out to 2-1. India: Uncapped pace bowler Avesh Khan has been picked as a replacement for Mohammed Shami who has an ankle injury. Ravindra Jadeja who missed the first Test due to back spasms is likely to return. Those are the greatest memories you can share with your team and everyone who has an influential role in the background. Shardul Thakur who sustained a blow to his left shoulder during an optional practice session last week is fine and available for selection. South Africa: Bavuma who suffered a hamstring strain in Centurion has been ruled out of the New Year’s Test. Dean Elgar will be the Proteas stand-in captain in what will be his final Test. Meanwhile Zubayr Hamza has been added to the squad as Bavuma’s replacement. In another big blow pace bowler Gerald Coetzee too will miss the second Test due to pelvic inflammation. Head-to-Head Record in Tests 43 Matches Played 18 - South Africa Won 15 - India Won 10 - Drawn. Usually when India touch down in Cape Town they are on the threshold of a dream. Thrice since 1992 have they arrived here to play the decider winning which would have enabled them to tick South Africa off their list of places to win a series at. What to expect: A full house and midsummer heat which should take most of the spice out of the pitch. The surface looked less green on Tuesday than it did on Monday. In any case Newlands tends to offer South Africa's fairest contest between bat and ball. No rain has been forecast for the duration of the match. "I only play the game to win. I don't care about stats. I care about wins. I care about series wins. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

One between Australia and Pakistan is going on amidst the rain threat at the famous MCG while the other is all set to take place at the SuperSport Park in Centurion between the hosts South Africa and India. This is the opening Test of the two-match series and two teams are getting ready for a battle of the pacers. Mukesh Kumar is seen bowling on the side pitch. The wet patches are being dried using a hair-dryer. The festive season is in the air and as we eagerly await the arrival of the New Year it's time for some serious business on the cricket field. Following the conclusion of the limited-overs series South Africa and India now meet in the highly anticipated Freedom Trophy. The two-match Test series begins with the Boxing Day Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion before the action shifts to Cape Town for the second and final Test. This series marks the start of South Africa's Test Championship cycle and they will be looking to start the campaign with a win. The Proteas will be led by their permanent Test captain Temba Bavuma and he will be keen to lead by example throughout the series. The hosts have a lethal pace attack in Gerald Coetzee Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi. Keshav Maharaj is the lone spinner in the squad while Nandre Burger. Wiaan Mulder and Marco Jansen form the all-rounder options. The bowling line-up seems settled but the batting will be put to the test in this series. All eyes will be on Dean Elgar who has decided to hang up his boots after this series and will be hoping to end his career on a high. Alongside Elgar and Bavuma Aiden Markram will have to shoulder the responsibility while Tony de Zorzi and Keegan Petersen are among. Rohit Sharma Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will form the core of India's top order while Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer will solidify the middle order. In all likelihood KL Rahul will don the gloves in what will be his first Test since February 2023. Ravindra Jadeja is always a force to be reckoned with with the ball and he also makes his presence felt with the bat more often in Tests than in the two white-ball formats. In the bowling department. The last time these two sides met in a Test series in the Rainbow Nation India came very close to creating history but South Africa recovered from an early setback to win the series 2-1. The stage is set for what promises to be a real cracker of a series between two giants. Who are you backing to land the first blow in this Boxing Day Test? It is confirmed now- Krishna is debuting for India in Test cricket. He receives his Test cap from the Bumrah. Pitch Report | Shaun Pollock: "It's a decent grass covering and South Africa is hoping for some movement. However they prefer to bat first since the pitch tends to slow down and become unpredictable as the game progresses. Considering the anticipated weather conditions it wouldn't be surprising if they opt for a spinner. With a significant amount of expected rain the playing conditions are unlikely to undergo substantial changes. Winning the toss and capitalizing on the initial period would be crucial." Ravi Shashtri: "Opt for batting first and endure the initial two hours. Even if you find yourselves two wickets down by lunch you'll be well-placed to reach a total of 280 or 290. Despite the seemingly green pitch there's more to it than meets the eye and persistence is key. Given the prevailing weather conditions consider fielding three fast bowlers an all-rounder and a spinner." Virat Kohli Rahul Dravid and Jasprit Bumrah are bowling on the side pitch now.

India vs South Africa 3rd ODI Live Scores This Match Will be Played at Boland Park Paarl on 21st December 2023 This Match Will Start at 4.30pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs SA 3rd ODI Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan The third and final ODI between South Africa and India is also the final white-ball game in this tour and it is sure a big one. Two giants of the game take on each other at Boland Park in Paarl in what is a decisive contest to see who reigns supreme as the ODI series is currently deadlocked at 1-1. Even though the T20I series finished on level terms as one of the games was washed out the winner will certainly have a lasting impression. India had a memorable outing with the ball in the first ODI in Johannesburg as Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan accounted for 9 of the 10 wickets and bundled out the opposition for just 116 runs. Arshdeep was the star with a maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs and then Sai Sudharsan the debutant notched up a classical 50 to bring an even bigger smile on the faces of the Indian coaching staff and fans. Bright and sunny with no chances of rain. However it was a different story in the 2nd ODI at Gqeberha as the Indian batters faltered but Sai yet again proved mettle and skipper Rahul too made a half-century. The bowlers didn't have much to bowl at and did beat the bat quite a lot but just didn't have the cutting edge especially the spinners who were largely ineffective and dealt with ease. South Africa vs India 3rd ODI Which team will win the series finale? Toss Update South Africa won toss opted to bowl first. South Africa on the other hand needed something to give after a couple of really shoddy batting performances against the same side and at the same venue but they did turn it all around. Nandre Burger bowled fast and accurately picking up early wickets for his team and setting it all up. The duo of Lizaad Williams and Beuran Hendricks were also top-notch and troubled the Indian batters eventually restricting them to an under-par total. With just 213 runs to win the opening pair of Tony de Zorzi Hendricks started off cautiously but the former did go for his shots every now and then. Both raked in half-centuries but Hendricks never looked settled and got out but de Zorzi went from strength to strength bringing up a maiden ODI ton took his side over the line. Now the final game looms large before the action moves to Test cricket and the sides seem pretty evenly matched. Who are you backing to win? Paarl's pitch like its predecessors in the rubber should provide a fitting stage. The crowd will grace the occasion with verve. All that will be needed for the match to live up to its billing is for the players to do something worth watching; something we hadn't thought would happen. Like Arshdeep Singh's 5/37 at the Wanderers or Tony de Zorzi's unbeaten 119 at St George's Park. see how India could improve on their XI. South Africa are unchanged from the last ODI. Let the moneyballers and analysts plot every twist and turn of a match before it happens. Let the unimaginative coddle themselves with their consistency coda. Let those who have eyes only for one team and its players refuse to look up from their obsession. Let the rest of us watch a game of cricket because we don't know what might happen. Otherwise what would be the point? given that conditions in Paarl are likely to be similar to those in Gqeberha. What to expect: Thirty-six degree heat hardly a soothing breeze not a drop of rain a slowish pitch - 300 has been passed three times in the 15 men's ODIs played here but not 400 - and the most joyous crowd in the country; perhaps in all of cricket. With Tony de Zorzi Nandre Burger and Beuran Hendricks starring at St George's Park to level the series changes would be ill-advised. Despite Tuesday's result it's difficult.

India v South Africa 3rd T20 Live Scores | IND v SA 3rd T20 Live Scores & Discussion | India Innings
India vs South Africa 3rd T20 Live Scores This Match Will be Played at New Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg on 14th December 2023 This Match Will Start at 8.30pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs SA 3rd T20 Live Discussion By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan At least it shouldn't rain at the Wanderers on Thursday. Considering the first match of this men's T20I series at Kingsmead on Sunday was lost in its entirety because of the weather and Tuesday's game at St George's Park was curtailed after the skies leaked again that's no small thing. Cricket minded fans of the electrical thunderstorms that grace the Highveld during South Africa's summers and there are many would concede that the match must take precedence over even the epic show the weather puts on in Johannesburg. With both teams playing only four more T20Is before the World Cup in the format in the Caribbean and the United States in June they need all the gametime they can get. Many of the players involved will turn out for a host of T20 franchises before the World Cup but nothing polishes on-field and dressingroom dynamics like playing together. It's what turns collections of cricketers into teams who win tournaments. On the admittedly scant evidence of the Tuesday when South Africa won by five wickets with seven balls to spare. The home side are tightening those nuts and bolts better than the visitors. Neither side handed down a masterclass in a match that was messy from start to finish but one of them found ways to win while the other lost their way. Maybe India are still getting over last month's rude awakening at the ODI World Cup which around 1.4-billion people seemed convinced they had some divine right to win. Until they didn't and Australia did because sport doesn't work that way. The South Africans haven't had to face that challenge no-one expected them to come home with the World Cup. Indeed they performed better than anticipated to reach the semis. That's not to read too much into the last game of a rubber India can no longer win. Besides they have claimed only two of the 15 bilateral series they have played in South Africa across the formats. But one of those was a T20I series in February 2018. Gerald Coetzee South Africa's most successful bowler on Tuesday with a haul of 3/32 has been taken out of the mix (see below) and Shamsi whose Gqeberha economy rate of 4.50 was easily the best in both attacks might be less effective on a Wanderers pitch. So theoretically the Indians have a better chance of winning than on Tuesday. Also the Wanderers is the only regularly used international ground in South Africa where India haven't lost more matches than they've won. They're level at 5-5 in Joburg. But the South Africans know how to win at the Wanderers where they have been victorious in 65.98% of their matches regardless of format in which a positive result has been reached. Only in Centurion are they more successful on that score and just 0.29% more. For all its reputation as a fast bowler's venue the Wanderers is a good place to bat especially in white-ball cricket. So will Suryakumar Yadav celebrate retaining the top spot in the T20I batting rankings with an innings as bristling with aggression as his 36-ball 56 on Tuesday? Will Rinku Singh convert his unbeaten 68 off 39 in the same match into something bigger? Or will potential debutants Nandre Burger and Ottniel Baartman again see below deny them by announcing themselves in style? As always before a match questions hang in the air like rain clouds. That's better for cricket of course than real rain clouds hanging in the air. What to expect: A willing pitch a small fast outfield and little chance according to the forecast of rain. Shubman Gill might make way for Gaikwad who didn't play on Tuesday due to illness. Ravi Bishnoi looks set to crack the nod ahead of Kuldeep.

India vs West Indies 4th T20 Live Scores This Match Will be Played at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground Lauderhill Florida on 12th August 2023 This Match Will Start at 8.00pm From Indian Standard time.

The caravan has now moved on to Lauderhill in the USA for the final two games. After losing a couple of closely-fought games the Men in Blue put in a dominant performance in the previous game to keep the series alive. India’s talisman in this format Suryakumar Yadav soared high and played a blistering knock to help his side coast home. That's a strong finish from Odean Smith as the flexing of muscle helps him gain a six. The Windies end up with 178 runs on the board for the loss of eight wickets despite being in a nervy situation halfway through the innings. 57 runs have been belted away in the last five overs by the Windies batters. A six in the first over from Kyle Mayers was a compliment to the disdain character that the nature of the pitch inherited in Florida during the first innings today. Although Mayers' sparkle didn't last long as the introduction of Arshdeep Singh acted as the resistance to his flow. In the left-arm pacer's second over within the powerplay he also removed the other opener- Brandon King who was looking to accelerate. The home side could manage to gather 55 runs from the powerplay for the loss of two wickets. Nicholas Pooran was the one who arrived at the stage alongside Shai Hope and then the spectators got to witness a double strike in the 7th over. It was the Kuldeep Yadav enchantment that got the better of Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell in the same over. All of a sudden a good start was curtailed down to a tricky 57-4 as the scoreboard read. Shai Hope: "Yeah I thought we started well. We can speak on all possibilities. But we didn't do well in the middle. Good innings from Hettie (Hetmyer) and it was a good finish in the end. Probably 10 runs short. They bowled decently we lost a few wickets in the middle. Hetmyer came in and played positively from the get-go giving me some breathing space. Obviously want to go and go on to get a big one. But it's what it is. I always wanted to play the format and contribute to West Indies. Today got the opportunity and I thought I was doing well. You always think that you have enough. But it's cricket anything can happen. Hopefully we can defend this." With India keen on experimenting keeping in mind the 2024 T20 World Cup Umran Malik can get a look in today. On the other hand West Indies have a chance to seal the series today with a game in hand. They had defeated South Africa 2-1 in their last T20I series in March this year. If they are able to win this series it would be their first back-to-back T20I series win since 2017. Coming to their playing XI if Jason Holder is fit he is likely to replace Roston Chase. Would they think of bringing in Hope in place of Charles due to the latter’s lean patch? In Lauderhill the hosts have a poor record against India having lost four won one being washed out. pitches here usually conducive strokeplay a high-scoring affair might cards. Pooran vs Kuldeep T20s 7 innings 41 runs 4 dismissals SR 95.34. Most runs conceded Indian spinner in the first over of the innings - T20Is: Ashwin - 17 vs ENG in 2014 Axar - 14 vs WI in 2023 Ashwin - 13 vs NZ in 2016 Sundar - 13 vs WI in 2019 Cometh the time Cometh the man. Shimron Hetmyer steps up when it mattered. Some hard work for Hetty and now one can expect some whacking in the remaining few balls that he face. A half-century for the Guyanese star.

The home team West Indies surprised everyone by winning the opening two games and have a great chance now to seal a rare series win against India. It's a do-or-die game for India so expect another intense contest with lot at stakes for both the teams. West Indies have played like a unit in this T20I series been missing from their game for quite a long time now. Nicholas Pooran has been the standout batter while Rovman Powell has also batted well. Windies bat deep and have plenty of match-winners like Kyle Mayers Hetmyer in their arsenal which makes them a dangerous unit. On the bowling front too there are plenty of bowling options and all of them have been pretty disciplined in this series so far. the second T20I with some careless cricket at the backend and that is something they need to be vary of. Expect West Indies to come out all guns blazing again. India on the other hand need their batters to step up. They struggled big time on a slow wicket and apart from Tilak Varma other batters could not show any application. the top order as a whole has not fired and that is a worry for India. We might also see a Yashasvi Jaiswal debut in place of Gill who has played non-stop cricket recently and has struggled in this T20I series. Also it is high time a player of the caliber of Samson joins the party which could go a long way in India putting up a big total on the board. On the bowling front Yuzvendra Chahal has been fantastic to say the least but there is a possibility of Umran Malik of Avesh Khan coming in for Mukesh Kumar. It is a must-win game for this young Indian side and it is a test of character for Hardik Pandya and his boys. Let's see how things pan out. The eternal dilemma with Indian cricket in recent times has been regarding the balance between long-term planning and short-term results. During their ODI World Cup win in 2019 and the T20 title victory in 2022 England showed the benefits of having a vision without compromising on results. It is a template that the Indian team is still far away from cracking as they look to transition towards a phase beyond the Virat Kohli's and Rohit Sharma's. In that aspect the ongoing white-ball leg of the West Indies tour hasn't gone to plan for Hardik Pandya's men. They did win the ODI series but were stretched considerably and have now lost two T20Is in a row against West Indies for the first time since 2016. The fact that this has come at a time when the Caribbean side has been at arguably its lowest in terms of morale and squad strength makes the picture a lot worse for the Indian team. However like with anything there are pros and cons. The results haven't come as yet but India have been able to give game time to the likes of Tilak Varma (who has impressed straightaway) and Sanju Samson (who is yet to come to the party) as viable middle-order options. Mukesh Bishnoi and Ishan Kishan are the others who have gotten opportunities to be in the mix. With the T20 World Cup next year scheduled to be in West Indies and USA. What to expect: Another spin-friendly surface is expected at Guyana with variable bounce also expected to play a part. The forecast for the week is for rain in Guyana and this could be another key factor in the game. Being 2-0 up in the series is a position of strength for the hosts and they're unlikely to tinker with their playing XI. With two losses on the bounce change is inevitable and Jaiswal could finally get a spot in the XI. In such a scenario Samson might the one missing out.
