KL Rahul — Rahul needs to carry on his form

Spinners

#7 Amit Mishra

On a flat Chinnaswamy surface, Amit Mishra could be India’s trump card with his leg breaks. Leg-spinners are generally the attacking breed and with the guile they have the ability to prize out wickets.

Also, since the boundaries are quite small, the batsmen could be lured into a sense of false safety and this augurs well for any spinner. Mishra gave a good account of himself in the second T20, but the conditions in Bangalore could be entirely different and he needs to call on all his experience.

#8 Yuzvendra Chahal

Virat Kohli has a lot of trust in young Yuzvendra Chahal and the Haryana spinner has not disappointed the skipper in both the two matches. He generally takes the new ball and often gets crucial wickets up front.

Also, he returns to the RCB homeground where he has tasted success and this should give him a lot of confidence. He generally believes in giving the ball a lot of air and enticing mistakes and then mixes up his speed and flight beautifully which befuddles the batsmen.
