Shikhar Dhawan led-India go into the third ODI with as many as five debutantes

Team India has made massive changes to the team for the third ODI against Sri Lanka. Having secured an unassailable 2-0 lead, India decided to test their bench strength for the final game. Prior to the game, five players were handed their debut caps.

Sanju Samson, Nitish Rana, Chetan Sakariya, Rahul Chahar & Krishnappa Gowtham will all start their one-dar careers. Navdeep Saini will also make an appearance while vice-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar sits out. These are all like-to-like changes and will see no alteration to the team balance.

The third ODI will be a litmus test for a couple of players. Krishnappa Gowtham is at the twilight of his career and he may not receive an opportunity in the future. Samson has been given opportunities before but he has failed to impress. It will be interesting to see whether they make the most of the chance.
