Virat Kohli has been rested for the T20 series, In the absence of Kohli, Ishan Kishan is likely to bat at the number three position, followed by Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant.
Rishabh Pant should continue to be the first-choice wicket-keeper in the squad. Suryakumar Yadav fared well in the latter stage of India’s campaign in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He should make it into the eleven as well.
