Also returning to the side were Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the second ODI, and Mohammed Siraj to spearhead the fast bowling unit. Washington Sundar also made his way in. In all, India made six changes with Shubman Gill, Shardul Thakur, Ishan Kishan, R Ashwin, Mohammed Shami and Ruturaj Gaikwad missing out. Rohit clarified that Kishan was missing out due to illness.
