3rd T20I: Renuka, Deepti Return As India Elect To Bowl First Against Sri Lanka
Pacer Renuka Singh Thakur: Pacer Renuka Singh Thakur and all-rounder Deepti Sharma come back into India’s playing eleven as skipper Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sri Lanka in the third T20I of the five-match series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, on Friday.
India have a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, and a win on Friday will give them the series win. After winning the toss for the third straight time, Harmanpreet said Renuka and Deepti, who missed the second T20I in Visakhapatnam due to mild fever, come in place of Sneh Rana and Arundhati Reddy, who are rested from this clash.
“With the conditions and the dew likely to come in, we felt this was the best option. Also, with the series on the line, we wanted to back our strength and keep things simple. The message has been clear from the start - even at the hotel before we came to the ground.
