The return of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube and Sanju Samson to the side has led the confusion in India's batting lineup
Jaiswal being an opening batsman will definitely seal the opening slot. But, India's think tank will have a task to choose his opening partner between Abhishek Sharma and captain Shubman Gill
Earlier, Gill made it very clear that he wants to open for India in the shortest format of the game. Also, Abhishek Sharma after having a poor run in the first T20I delivered a stellar century in the second T20I against Zimbabwe
Sai Sudharsan who was added to the squad only for the first two T20Is might make a way for Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of the third T20I
Also, if Jaiswal opens with Abhishek, then there is the possibility of Gill batting at number three and Ruturaj Gaikwad slipping to the fourth spot in the Indian side
