In a preview of the third match, Jaffer conceded that, regardless of the 100-run setback at Lord’s, the guests are unlikely to make any modifications. Nonetheless, in an interview with ESPNcricinfo, he admitted:
“There may very well be one change. Shardul Thakur may are available for the third ODI. When Shami is available in at 8, which means the tail is relatively prolonged. India have Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya, so he may very well be the sixth bowling choice as effectively. However the way in which India have been working, they may go in with the identical staff.”
Jaffer praised the Indian bowling assault saying, “(Jasprit) Bumrah and Shami are an incredible opening bowling pair. Within the second ODI as effectively, they beat the bat fairly a number of occasions. England had been fortunate that the bowlers didn’t discover the perimeters. The bowlers have accomplished their job. Even Yuzvendra Chahal has impressed. Hardik Pandya has nearly made a contribution. They should take accountability within the third one-dayer as effectively.”
“This (Manchester) isn’t a cheerful looking floor for India. However in recent times, they’ve received at venues the place they hadn’t tasted wins earlier than. So possibly we would see the Outdated Trafford jinx breaking as effectively,” Jaffer additional added.
