India and England Set for Decisive Third ODI at Lord's with Key Player ChangesPreviousNext

India and England face a series-deciding third ODI at Lord's with the series tied 1-1. India is expected to make key changes, including the return of KL Rahul and the exclusion of Ishan Kishan, while Washington Sundar is ruled out due to injury. Rohit Sharma, who has struggled in the series, aims to regain form on a batting-friendly pitch. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah made history by taking a wicket with the first ball of England's innings in the second ODI and contributed a valuable late batting cameo.
