All-rounders: Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar

Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar should retain their places in the Indian team for the 4th T20I. While both players have been decent with the ball in hand, they'll want to contribute a bit more in the batting department - provided they get time in the middle.


Bowlers: Deepak Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rahul Chahar

Yuzvendra Chahal hasn't been in the best of form recently

Shardul Thakur hasn't done too much wrong over the past few games for India, but the pacer was a tad inconsistent with his lines and lengths in the 3rd T20I. Although it would be a bit harsh for him to be dropped based on just one poor performance, India might bring in either Navdeep Saini or Deepak Chahar.

Chahar has been fairly impressive in the T20I format barring a slightly indifferent tour of Australia, and he might get the nod ahead of Saini. The Rajasthan born-pacer will share new-ball responsibilities with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and both quicks could make the most of the swing on offer in Ahmedabad.

The other change India might make is to bring in Rahul Chahar in place of the struggling Yuzvendra Chahal.

The country's leading wicket-taker in T20I cricket has had a poor series by his standards - he has been expensive and has picked up only 3 wickets. Barring his Man of the Match performance after coming in as a concussion substitute for Ravindra Jadeja Down Under, Chahal hasn't put in a noteworthy showing in the recent past for India.

Rahul Chahar, who was called up to the squad after Rahul Tewatia and Varun Chakravarthy failed fitness tests, might be in line to play his 2nd T20I. If Tewatia is fit and available for selection, however, we might see him make his international debut.
