Speaking in a preview video for Dafa News, Sanjay Manjrekar cited a statement by skipper Virat Kohli where he talked about finding motivation in every international match. The former cricketer remarked:

For his three changes, Sanjay Manjrekar asked India to bring back pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar who looked at sea in the first match against Pakistan. Manjrekar said India need to see if he still has something to offer in the shortest format. He then batted for the inclusion of leg-spinner Rahul Chahar and Ishan Kishan in place of Mohammed Shami and vice-captain Rohit Sharma.

Sanjay Manjrekar added:

If India go ahead with these three changes, they’ll also have to leave out one of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin for an extra fast-bowler, otherwise the team will be left with four spinners and just one genuine pacer. Here, Shardul Thakur, who was dropped for the last match against Scotland, can get a look-in.
