After winning the toss and opting to bowl first in the 3rd T20I, India National Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma revealed that Arshdeep has some issues with his back, but it’s precautionary, not serious.

“Three changes for us, Kohli and KL are out, and Arshdeep misses out for some issues with his back. It is precautionary, nothing serious,” India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit said at the toss.

“We’re going to field first. It’s a very high-scoring ground, I feel the pitch won’t change a lot so nice to know what target is in front of us,” he also said.

“We’ve got Shreyas Iyer, Umesh Yadav and Siraj in. We want to keep challenging ourselves, keep improving and keep batting the same way,” Rohit added.
