India Predicted XI For 3rd T20I vs Sri Lanka: Rohit Sharma Likely To Test Bench Strength

Just a day after clinching yet another T20I series win, India will take on Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. Shreyas Iyer rose to the occasion once again as he smashed a fine 74 after coming into bat at no 3. Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja also earned plaudits for their cameo as India chased down a daunting total of 184 last night at the same venue. India could make a couple of changes for the dead rubber against Sri Lanka, who will look to end the series on a high note ahead of the two Tests next month. The likes of Ravi Bishnoi and Mohammed Siraj might get a chance to test themselves.
