However, some of the players maybe rested for the final two games in Florida. With just two matches left, Sanju Samson, Harshal Patel and Ishan Kishan are expected to come in. Shreyas Iyer is all set to be dropped along with Avesh Khan. Both had torrid times in the matches in West Indies.
Avesh Khan has been too expensive, conceding at an economy rate of 14.62 in just 5.2 overs. In the 3rd T20, he returned with 15.70 runs an over. His death overs bowling too has been abysmal. In the last five T20Is, he has conceded at an economy rate of 17.4 in 5.2 overs in death overs.
As for Shreyas Iyer, he had the opportunity to cement his place in T20Is in Virat Kohli’s absence and got three chances. But he failed in all. In three games, he has scored 34 runs at an average of 11.33 and a strike rate of 80.95.

IND vs WI LIVE: Shreyas Iyer & Avesh Khan set to get axe
- Harshal Patel was ruled out of the 2nd & 3rd T20 due to rib injury but if he gets fit by 4th T20, he will return with Bhuvneshwar Kumar rested.
- Kuldeep Yadav is also in the fray to return in Ravicnahdran Ashwin’s place. But if the conditions permit, he may partner Ashwin with two seamers playing.
- However, it’s Avesh Khan who is surely getting the boot. He was too expensive in his 5.2 overs in the series so far, conceding at 14.62 economy rate with just one wicket to show for.
- Shreyas Iyer too will be dropped after three unconvincing innings.
- Iyer has scored 0, 10 and 23 in the three innings. The 23-run knock came off 27 balls while Suryakumar Yadav hammered 26-ball fifty at the opposite end.
- Sanju Samson is a possibility to return as he was asked to stay back as a replacement for KL Rahul.
- With two matches left, he is likely to get a go in place of Shreyas Iyer.
- Deepak Hooda barely got an opportunity in the last match and he will retain his place in the XI.
- As for bowling combination, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is likely to be rested in favour of Arshdeep Singh and Harshal Patel.
- Ravindra Jadeja may also be rested as he is a sure-shot starter if fit.
