IND vs SL 3rd T20 Predicted Playing XI: Hardik Pandya likely to drop Shubman Gill, THIS batsman to make comeback - Check

India opening batsman Shubman Gill made his T20I debut in the first game of the three-match series against Sri Lanka, however, the Gujrat Titans batsman failed to live up to the expectations as he could only score seven in the first match and five in the second game. With Sanju Samson ruled out of the series, Shubman Gill's only competition is Ruturaj Gaikwad. The CSK batter is still waiting in the queue for his chance.
