Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Krunal Pandya could be handed a debut against England in the third T20I. Although India hasn't won the series yet, they would be tempted to test out the elder Pandya. He is a very handy batsman and can reduce the burden of finishing an inning from the shoulders of Hardik and MSD. The left arm spinner is a wicket taker and is an excellent fielder. He has scored 967 runs in 50 T20 innings and picked up 59 wickets in 61 matches at an economy rate of 6.96.
Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the best spinners in India at present and has proved it time and again. The RCB player has been sensational for India over the last year and half. The leggie has picked up 42 wickets in 25 matches at an economy rate of 7.86 and has career best figures of 6/25. The 6 wickets came against England in 2017 and Kohli will want to see similar performance in the series decider.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will need to deliver a strong performance in the decider as the pressure is mounting on him to perform well. He has had a rough time since the beginning of this year's IPL and if he fails to perform in the next few games, he could face the axe. The swing king has picked up 29 wickets in 29 matches at an economy rate of 6.75.
Umesh Yadav has had a bumper year in stark contrast to Bhuvneshwar Kumar's year. He was one of the leading wicket takers in this year's IPL and was instrumental for them. Thanks to this year's IPL, Yadav has come back into the Indian limited overs team after he was ousted from the team last year. Surprisingly, he has played only 4 T20I's and picked up 7 wickets at an economy rate of 7.69.
