Colombo: Indian coach Rahul Dravid must choose between experimenting and continuing a combination of winners in his efforts to ensure a clean sweep against Sri Lanka in the third and final minute here on Friday.
While Shikhar Dhawan-LED India won the first match by seven goats, Deepak Chahar pulled a theft in the second with unbeaten 69 who won the match when the visitors won with three Wickets.
Now, it still has to be seen whether India continues with Prithvi Shaw, which gets a score of 43 and 13, to partner with the captain above, or enter for a classy Devdutt Padikkal or Ruturaj Gaikwad which is equally elegant – good list of extraordinary.
If Shaw gets another chance, he will be more than wanting to get a big score, because he failed to change his initial first match.
Another dilemma for team management is whether to survive with Ishan Kishan who is aggressive or gives the opportunity for Sanju Samson, Batsman who hit another hard, to make his ODI debut.
People like Pandey Manish and Yadav’s soakumar who continue to increase are confident to defend their place because the duo is the first backbone.
With Deputy Captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar explained that there was no fitness problem with the hardik pandya, a flamboyant Baroda player and his brother all-rounder Krunal is expected to play.
There are times when each player does not want to rest and play every game, but team management needs to consider the Bowler workload, because they play six matches in just 12 days in the condition of Sri Lanka humid.
In the previous two matches, the Indian Bowler managed to load Sri Lanka who was inexperienced and turned on everything.
While Bhuvneshwar can continue to lead the attack, it still has to be seen whether the team management chooses young Navdeep Saini or is not closed by Chetan Sakariya’s left arm that replaces the last hero of the game Deepak Chahar, who has been extraordinary with his book ball.
But Chahar, who has now shown that he can bat, is also a key player in T20 which is set, and therefore he can rest, with three shortest format games march.
SPIN DUO KULDEEP YADAV (2/48 and 0/55) and Yuzvendra Chahal (2/52 and 3/50) did it quite well in the first two matches.
But by off-spinner Krishnappa Gowtham and Rahul Chahar talented, waiting on the wing, it will be a difficult call for who to play.
With a series that is already in the bag, the team can rest ‘Kulcha’ and play young weapons, with the krunal as a third spinner.
For Sri Lanka, victory in the last match will do the miracle of their trust after almost pulling victory in the second match.
The appetizer of Avishka Fernando has been between running, but requires support from other Batsmen.
Good sightseeing for Captain Dasun Shanaka, Minod Bhanuka, Dhananjaya de Silva and others will not only help the team but also themselves in a career in front.
Coach Sri Lanka Mickey Arthur, his anger and disappointment was very visible in the last game, but he needed to improve his players, especially the bowler.
For Sri Lanka, the performance of Leggie Wanindu Hasaranga, who chose three numbers in the last match, would also be very important.
