Ishan Kishan was dropped from the 3rd T20I after poor performances in the first two T20Is. Yashasvi Jaiswal came in his place but could not make a mark in his first match. Shubman Gill has also looked completely out of confidence, giving captain Hardik Pandya enough reasons to be concerned about the top order.
