Virat Kohli All Set To Make Changes In The Playing XI To Win The Second T20I

Divesh GillBy Divesh Gill21/02/2018Updated:08/02/2023No Comments2 Mins Read

After winning the first T20, India would look to win the second game and seal the series. While India look to seal the series and hand over another series defeat to the hosts, India wouldn’t really want to temper with the playing XI of the first game. But India can make one change by bringing KL Rahul into the playing XI.

Here’s the predicted XI for India for the second T20I

Openers

Shikhar Dhawan
Rohit Sharma

There’s not even an iota of doubt about making any changes here. Shikhar Dhawan is in spending form on this tour and in the first T20 that India won he was the real hero with the bat. Besides him no other batsman could even go past a score of 30 and it was Dhawan’s Knock primarily that reflected in India’s grand total.

Middle Order

One Down: Virat Kohli
Two Down: Suresh Raina
Three Down: KL Rahul
Four Down: Hardik Pandya

Even here the Indian captain wouldn’t really want to make many changes but he can bring in KL Rahul here in place of Manish Pandey. This looks a perfect middle order and a match winning one. India shouldn’t really be experimenting with its playing XI unless they ensure a series win. If India wins today they would seal the series and then in the third game they can have as much has changes they’d want to.

Wicket-keeper

MS Dhoni

Again no doubt about his place in the team. Dhoni’s got to be there and MS Dhoni will be there.

Bowlers

Yuzvendra Chahal
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Jasprit Bumrah
Jaydev Unadkat

India would most probably go with the same bowling attack too. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was just brilliant for his five wicket haul in the last game as he scalped 5 for 24. Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal too are indispensable and seems like Unadkat too would get to play.
