India captain Rohit Sharma came into the third T20I without two of his best batters in Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, both of whom were rested from this dead rubber match against South Africa as India leads the series 2-0.
The match which is being played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore, saw Rohit Sharma winning the toss and choosing to bowl first. India brought in Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, and Shreyas Iyer as Rohit revealed that Arshdeep Singh suffered from a back niggle and was rested as a precaution.
South Africa also made one change as Anrich Nortje was rested and Dwaine Pretorius came in for him.
Meanwhile, ahead of the match as the Indian team practiced and warmed up for the match, Rohit Sharma was spotted having a huge black spot on his left knee while having a knock around.
It may not exactly be a bruised knee or even protective padding for that matter. As Rohit turned around, the camera captured the black spot properly, indicating that the India captain might have applied something on the knee.
