India win toss, opt to bowl in 3rd T20I; Prince Yadav in

India captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bowl first against England in the third T20I of the series on Tuesday. The match is being played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

Team Changes

India made one change to their playing XI, bringing in pacer Prince Yadav in place of spinner Ravi Bishnoi. This alteration aims to strengthen the pace attack after India's four-wicket loss in the second T20I at Old Trafford, Manchester. The opening game of the series was abandoned due to rain.

India's Playing XI

India's lineup includes openers Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, followed by wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan, captain Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and Varun Chakaravarthy.

Series Context

With the series level after two matches—one washed out and one win each—the third T20I is crucial for both teams. India will look to bounce back from their defeat in Manchester, while England aim to take a lead in the series.
