England vs India 2018: 4 possible India changes for the series decider

England v India - 2nd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
A match-winning century from the England's star batsman

#3 Shardul Thakur in for Siddarth Kaul

England Lions v India A - Tri-Series International
England Lions v India A- Shardul Thakur looked in good touch in the Tri-series

Siddarth Kaul has looked off-colour since his debut in Trent Bridge in the 1st ODI. Since the Indian pacers didn't have any assistance from the pitch, Kaul struggled to pick up his 1st wicket in ODIs, leaking runs in the death overs. In 2 matches, he seemed to be a bit expensive, giving 121 runs at an economy rate of 6.72 in 18 overs.

In the series decider, Shardul Thakur can be considered as a replacement for Kaul. Thakur has been in good form playing for India A team in the Tri-series against England Lions and Windies A.

Thakur picked up 8 wickets in 4 matches and was instrumental in India A's triumph in the Tri-series.
