The third predicted change sees Ravindra Jadeja replacing Washington Sundar in the team.
Gavaskar’s predicted playing XI is: Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj. The actual team selection will be officially announced closer to the match.
