Yet to win a game on the ongoing tour of the UK, a desperate India will most certainly include an additional pacer at the expense of the out-of-sync Ravi Bishnoi. The spinner, whose three back-foot no-balls and a 29-run over cost the Shreyas Iyer-led side the second T20I, looked horribly out of rhythm during his wicketless spell that leaked 60 runs in four overs in Manchester.

It is expected that a pace bowler will come into the XI, and Prince Yadav, with his ability to move the ball in the air and off the surface, looks a better candidate than Prasidh Krishna, whose natural back-of-a-length deliveries are easier to hit in the T20 format.

India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was set to make his india debut anyway.

The best advice? Just be yourself.

Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak reveals his message to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Keep playing the fearless cricket that earned you a place in Team India.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi finally got his India debut cap in the second T20I against England, but he failed to make a big impact. The southpaw scored 14 off 10 balls, with the help of two sixes. A bit of nerves were visible as the teenager played his maiden senior India game. He was dismissed in quite an uncharacteristic manner. Sooryavanshi was stumped while trying to take on England spinner Will Jacks.

England are unchanged for the third T20I. Have a look at their Playing XI: Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Harry Brook (c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Josh Tongue.

The first match of the five-T20I series was washed out due to rain. In the second game, England handed India a four-wicket defeat. While the hosts aim to double their lead, Shreyas Iyer and Co. will be eager to level the series at 1-1.
