Middle order: KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (C), and Suresh Raina
The Indian middle-order looks more or less settled. KL Rahul is expected to hold the No.3 spot. Rahul demolished the English bowling line-up in the first T20I in Manchester where he scored an unbeaten ton while helped India to get over the line. However, he had a quiet outing in the previous match when he failed to make his presence felt and perished cheaply.
The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, would be looking forward to maintaining his good form in the third T20I. Kohli top-scored for the visitors with 47 to his name. Kohli looked in a good tempo which came as good news for the Indian team ahead of the long tour.
Suresh Raina has wonderfully reconciled to the demands of the Indian team. He had a decent outing in the previous match against England. Thus, Raina is most likely to retain his place in the Indian team.
