3rd ODI: Prasidh, Harsh, Nitish Return For India As Afghanistan Elect To Bat First

Zia Ur Rahman Sharifi: India have included Prasidh Krishna, Harsh Dubey and Nitish Kumar Reddy in their playing eleven as Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat first in the third and final ODI at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday. India have already taken a 2-0 lead in the three-game series after a massive 170-run win in Lucknow. Another win in Chennai will hand them a 3-0 series sweep. Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi said they have four changes, with Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Zia Ur Rahman Sharifi and Fareed Ahmad Malik coming in. We want to bat first today. It's always hot in India in this month. Wicket also looks good. It's dry and hard. Hopefully we have a good start in the batting. In last two games we missed some areas and didn't play the way we have played in the past. Hopefully we recover today and have good partnerships and bowl in the right areas, he said. For India, with Prasidh, Harsh and Nitish returning, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav and KL Rahul sit out of the match. . Nitish had missed the clash in Lucknow due to soreness in left thigh and now returns in Chennai, with Ishan Kishan set to take up keeping duties. Looks like a very good wicket. Would've batted first as well. Was pretty hot in the last match and it's going to be no different here. It's about being consistent in the areas we're looking at. Chasing is one thing we haven't ticked. That's what we'll be looking at today, said India skipper Shubman Gill. In their pitch report, Michael Clarke and Deep Dasgupta said a red-soil pitch is on offer and there should be good bounce for both pacers and spinners, while adding that balls with change of pace can be more beneficial.

Nitish Kumar Reddy Is Natural Successor To Hardik Pandya, Says India Assistant Coach Ten Doeschate

Nitish Kumar Reddy: Indias assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said the side has identified Nitish Kumar Reddy as the natural successor to Hardik Pandya in the seambowling allrounder role, adding that the youngster has been groomed over the last 18 months with next years World Cup in mind. Reddy missed the second ODI against Afghanistan in Lucknow due to soreness in his left thigh and could return for the clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. When Hardiks fit, he obviously brings a different element because hes such a strong batter, such a strong finisher. That sort of role scarcity is difficult to find - a finisher who can give you overs as well. So those guys are all tracking really nicely. Like I said with Nitish, for the last 18 months, hes shown glimpses of how important he can be to this team, particularly in this format. I feel his bodys getting stronger and stronger, and I sort of feel he is the natural successor or backup to Hardik, Ten Doeschate said in the pre-match press conference. India have also experimented with Harshit Rana and Gurnoor Brar as lowerorder options, but ten Doeschate underlined their primary role as bowling allrounders. I would still say the majority of those guys are bowling allrounders. But certainly to see these other guys chipping in and working on their games, even someone like Gurnoor and Harshit again, theyre bowling allrounders. But the fact that we feel weve got guys who can hold the bat at No.9 and obviously looking forward to the next 1415 months, that is going to be very important, especially in South Africa when you want to play three proper outandout seamers. Those guys are going to need to bat. So yeah, a lot of good signs on the allrounder front and also on the fast bowler front. I think its been refreshing this week to see Prince, Gurnoor, and Nabi, he added. With India having sealed the ODI series, ten Doeschate confirmed changes are on the cards for the game in Chennai. We will be making a few changes from the first two games. I think part of the brief coming into the series was that we wanted to try a few different combinations and give everyone a fair share of games. If someone like Arshdeep does very well in the first two games, he can take a rest tomorrow. On wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishans century in Lucknow, ten Doeschate praised his versatility. I think with Ishan, the only concern was whether he transforms himself from a T20 specialist into a 50over player, potentially even a redball player. I think he showed that the other night. By nature, hes very aggressive, and we still feel theres space for that in this team. You do have some solid batters around him if you include them in the team. With Shubman and Virat, you have two of the more classical guys who are going to bat through the innings. He is a very versatile player. He can bat at the top of the order, he can bat in the middle, and obviously, the fact that hes a top gloveman as well. I think he ticks a lot of boxes and so on. Like I said, purely for versatility is something you want in your squad, he said. He signed off by saying India is likely to retain the same top three from the second ODI in Lucknow - Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal opening, followed by Shubman Gill at number three. It is a consideration. The versatility of their batting lineup is fantastic. I dont think KL will bat at No.3 tomorrow. We want to have a good look at Yashasvi as well. Obviously, he didnt get around to the last game, so he will probably get another game, I would have thought. Maybe with the combination, we need to look at Nitish again. Unfortunately, he couldnt play the last game, and he needs to start as well. So I would imagine five batters plus Nitish and Washi (Washington Sundar). It is a consideration. The versatility of their batting lineup is fantastic. I dont think KL will bat at No.3 tomorrow. We want to have a good look at Yashasvi as well. Obviously, he didnt get around to the last game, so he will probably get another game, I would have thought.

With Series Already Clinched, India Eyes ODI Clean Sweep Against Afghanistan (Preview)

With Nitish Kumar Reddy: Having already secured the ODI series, a dominant India will aim to secure a 3-0 result when they take on Afghanistan in the third and final ODI at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday. With the series already clinched, India will be keen to see how certain individuals fare in Chennai. Left-hander Yashasvi Jaiswal will be keen to get a big knock after scoring just four runs in Lucknow, where the likes of skipper Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan made merry by smashing centuries. With the potential return of Virat Kohli from a hamstring injury for the series against England set to shake up the batting order, the onus is on Jaiswal to get big runs in what is effectively a dead rubber. Eyes will also be on how KL Rahul re-engineers his ODI batting game to provide late-innings impetus at number six rather than steady accumulation as a number five batter. India will also be buoyed with the return of seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana, who has been added to the squad in Chennai after completing rehabilitation for a knee injury. With Nitish Kumar Reddy nursing a thigh issue, Rana could be immediately put on the test to play the match, and give the team management a chance to assess his preparedness, fitness and playing wise, ahead of Ireland and England tours. Meanwhile, Afghanistan have been thoroughly outplayed by a formidable India in both formats on this tour and face a daunting task to rectify their batting and bowling flaws and sign off on a high against a relentless home side.
