India pick young pacer Prince Yadav for must-win game
India named Prince Yadav in the final XI as captain Shreyas Iyer chose to field on a batting-friendly pitch. England lead the five-match series 1-0 after the second game, while the first was abandoned for rain. India must win to keep series hopes alive. Iyer is making his captaincy debut determined to secure the team’s first win under his leadership.
India’s XI includes Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Shivam Dube, Tilak Verma, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy. Young opener Abhishek Sharma and in-form Vaibhav Suryavanshi carry high expectations. This match marks Ishan Kishan’s 50th T20I appearance.
England, led by Harry Brook, field a strong batting line-up featuring Jos Buttler, Philip Salt and Sam Curran. Trent Bridge’s first-innings average is 191, suggesting another high-scoring contest. England will aim to extend their lead and tighten control of the series.
Match context: England won the second T20I by four wickets. India will try to restrict England early and rely on their pace and spin attack on a pitch that favors batters. A win would level the series and shift momentum back to India.
