India, in all likelihood, are unlikely to make any changes to their playing XI for this match, more so given the fact that it is the series' decider. The opening combination of Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan did show signs of form in the last match but both were dismissed early on. With power-packed performances from both Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan, both of them would continue batting at number three and four respectively, followed by another in-form player Sanju Samson. Shardul Thakur, with his all-round abilities is more than handy at number six.
Thakur would be followed by Washington Sundar and then Shahbaz Ahmed, both of whom can score some quick runs. The bowlers would come next. Mohammed Siraj and Avesh Khan would be the two main pace bowlers with Thakur as the third seamer. The spin bowling responsibilities would be handled by Shahbaz, Washington and also Kuldeep Yadav. If India decide to go in with a third pacer and keep Shardul Thakur as a fourth-fast bowling option, then either Shahbaz or Washington can make way for Mukesh Kumar.

Shikhar Dhawan (C), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (VC), Sanju Samson (Wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan and Mohammed Siraj
