#3 Nair and Karthik can provide experience in the lower middle-order
Nair should be brought in place of Pandya. He is a gritty middle-order batsman who can bat long. He already has a triple century against his name, which is a testament to his capability as a batsman in the longer format.
Karthik has a wealth of experience which can be useful in tight match situations. He should replace Pant.
Nair and Karthik will provide stability to the lower middle-order whose minimal contribution with the bat has plagued the Indian team in this series.
