Resurgence of Harshit Rana
In the final ODI match, the spotlight can be stolen by Harshit Rana. As he was included in the Indian Squad, the young pacer was included after his rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. Rana was suffering from a knee injury lately and hadn't been seen for many months. Even the youngster couldn't make it to the Indian Premier League this year.
Therefore his addition marks a significant change in his career graph as well as in bowling line up of the national team. His return is noted as a positive response to his physical fitness as well as professional potential. Along with him there are also a whole group of youngsters including Yashswi Jaiswal, Harsh Dubey, Prince Reddy and Nitish Kumar Yadav. The final ODI match could be a great opportunity for them to steal the spotlight.
Youngsters dominating the tournament
Captain Shubman Gill and his entire squad have performed remarkably throughout the series. The young skipper has scored a century along with a half-century, while Ishan Kishan also stood up and scored another century in the 2nd ODI match at Lucknow. Their performance spoke on their behalf and proved the accuracy of the decision made by the national-level selectors for the tournament.
Sportscape observes that this is the crucial time for Team India as the team formation is changing with the inclusion of young promising players in each tournament. This will write the future of the team as well as the individual players. Also, We're quite hopeful about the third ODI match and hope to witness India's dominance throughout the match once again.
