Gill Out, Samson In for 3rd T20I vs SA; Arshdeep Dropped
- •Shubman Gill is likely to be dropped from India's playing XI for the 3rd T20I against South Africa due to recent poor form.
- •Sanju Samson is expected to replace Gill, potentially opening the batting, given his strong T20I record as an opener.
- •Arshdeep Singh may also be replaced by Harshit Rana after conceding 54 runs and bowling nine wides in the previous match.
- •The inclusion of Samson could open a spot for a specialist bowler like Washington Sundar or Kuldeep Yadav.
- •India's likely XI for the 3rd T20I includes Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Jasprit Bumrah.
Why It Matters: India's T20I lineup changes could significantly impact series performance.
