Cricket News Desk. The Indian team Champions Trophy is set to play their last ODI before starting 2025. The last match of the ODI series between India and England will be played on 12 February at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Team India won the first two matches and captured the series. In such a situation, everyone's eyes are on what will be the playing 11 of Team India in this match. Will the players sitting on the bench get a chance or India will play with the playing 11 of the previous match? It will be interesting to see. Former India batting coach has given his opinion on this. They believe that there may be some changes in the team, but the management should avoid new experiments before the Champions Trophy.

Will the playing 11 change?

Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has advised the Indian team management to retain the same playing XI for the third and final ODI against England in Ahmedabad. India has already won the series with a win in Cuttack, but Bangar believes that it is important to maintain consistency rather than bringing Rishabh Pant or Arshdeep Singh in the team.

Will Pant get a chance?

Bangar said, “I don't think Yashasvi Jaiswal needs to play.” If you have talent, then you can play Arshdeep Singh, you can try Rishabh Pant. But now there is only one match left. KL Rahul has not got a chance to play for a long time. Whenever he comes to bat, only a few runs are left. But their keeping has been good, so you would like to trust them.

KL Rahul's form is also a matter of discussion. The wicketkeeper-batsman has not played any big innings in the series yet, which raises the question whether Pant should be given a chance in the final ODI? Pant is an important part of Team India, but Bangar believes that now changing the lineup can affect the team's rhythm. Since then, the Champions Trophy tournament has been approaching. In such a situation, India will try to improve its best playing eleven.

Arshadeep can get a chance

The former coach further said, “Arshdeep may be fed because Mohammed Shami's bowling does not have much sharpness … I would like to see the same team in the second match that has done so well so far.” In this series, so far Mohammed Shami and Harshit Rana have bowled with the new ball. Harshit is not part of India's 15 -member team for the Champions Trophy, so there is speculation that Arshdeep can be given a chance to play in Ahmedabad before the ICC competition.

India's possible playing XI for the third ODI

Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Rabindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakraborty.
