Why Ravi Bishnoi Not Playing Today in ENG vs IND 3rd T20I?

India got off to a strong start in the third T20I against England at Trent Bridge after captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and decided to bowl first, hoping to take advantage of the helpful conditions. With England leading the five-match series 1-0 after winning the second T20I by four wickets in Manchester, while the first game ended without a result due to rain, this became a very important match for India.

The visitors made one change to their playing XI by dropping leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi and bringing in young fast bowler Prince Yadav. India's decision to pick Prince Yadav shows that the team wanted a stronger pace attack on a pitch expected to help the seamers. Prince had impressed with his accurate bowling and ability to get extra bounce, making him a good choice for the conditions in Nottingham.

Why Ravi Bishnoi Not Playing Today in ENG vs IND 3rd T20I?

The decision to drop Bishnoi came after a disappointing performance in the previous game, where he gave away 60 runs in his four overs without taking a wicket. He also became the first spinner in T20I history to bowl three no-balls in the same innings. His costly spell helped England gain control of the chase, with Jacob Bethell scoring freely against him during the middle overs.

India will now expect Prince Yadav, who has been added as Ravi Bishnoi replacement for this 3rd T20I. The young pacer will be looking to make an early impact alongside Arshdeep Singh, who is one of the best T20 bowlers, and put pressure on England's powerful batting lineup from the beginning.

After failing to defend a good total in the last match, the visitors will be looking for a much better bowling effort, while England has kept the same playing XI as they aim to take a bigger lead in the series.
