As for other positions, Rahul Dravid is unlikely to tinker with the positions. Shreyas Iyer will continue at No 3 despite facing criticism for his strike rate. Rishabh Pant being the captain will walk in but will need to better his performance. He is also enduring a rough patch and the way he was set up by Keshav Maharaj, it goes without saying, he will have to come good.
While Dinesh Karthik played his role of a finisher well, Hardik Pandya will need to step up his bowling. He looked off-colour in his bowling spells in both matches.
India’s T20I squad: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (Captain, WK), Dinesh Karthik (wk), Hardik Pandya, Venkatesh Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik
