The third ODI will be played in MS Dhoni's home town of Ranchi.
The Indian team has looked amazing in this ODI series and have come back well after the loss in the T20I series.
With the series on the line in the third match, which will be played in MS Dhoni’s hometown of Ranchi, it will be interesting to see if the Indian cricket team makes changes or decides to go with the same team.
Team COC brings to you, the Predicted Team India playing XI for the third ODI in Ranchi.
Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav failed in the second ODI in Nagpur, with Dhoni scoring a first-ball duck. But given their earlier form and important runs that they have scored in difficult situations, the middle order is more or less likely to remain the same. Also, Kedar Jadhav’s bowling form has been a boon for Indian team with him picking important wickets and keeping the runs down.
Vijay Shankar’s batting form has been amazing and he has put his hand up for an alternative to Rayudu’s number four spot. He has also redeemed himself with the ball with an amazing final over in Nagpur where he defended 11 runs and dismissed a dangerous Stoinis.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will partner Jasprit Bumrah, who brought India into the game in Nagpur with two amazing wickets in 46th over of the Australian innings and giving away just two runs in his last 12 balls.
COC Predicted Indian team playing XI for the third ODI at Ranchi:
Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (C), Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (WK), Kedar Jadhav, Vijay Shankar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
