KL Rahul has been horridly out of form for team India and that could prompt the think tank to bring Ishan Kishan, provided he is fit. Suryakumar Yadav slammed an impressive fifty in his maiden outing for team India and he will retain his place in the side.

England, on the other hand, are unlikely to fiddle with their playing XI. But if they do, it will be the inclusion of Moeen Ali in place of Sam Curran. Ali hasn’t featured in any game this series but experience can be productive in the decider. T Natarajan Thrilled to Join Team India After Passing Fitness Test, Shares Picture from Training.
