Overview
- On Friday, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said India will alter the XI for Saturday's third ODI in Chennai after sealing the three‑match series 2-0.
- Doeschate indicated Arshdeep Singh is likely to be rested for the dead rubber and that one batter could also be left out of the playing XI.
- If India keep a three‑pronged pace attack Prasidh Krishna is expected to be recalled to partner the young seamers Prince Yadav and Gurnoor Brar.
- The management has publicly backed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal to keep his top‑order place and plans to retain KL Rahul in the middle order at number five.
- The series is being used to manage workloads and build bench strength by giving newcomers game time and checking fitness ahead of the UK tour and the 2027 World Cup.
