India have displayed an aggressive brand of cricket, overpowering Sri Lanka in the first two Ind vs SL T20Is to secure an unassailable 2-0 lead. Despite this success, Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav aim to complete the series with a clean sweep in their new partnership. Suryakumar Yadav, after taking over the T20I captaincy from Rohit Sharma, has led from the front, playing a pivotal role in the Ind vs SL series victory.

With the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, India is in a transition phase but has outclassed Sri Lanka in all departments, negating the home advantage.

Under the new coaching of Gautam Gambhir, India has embraced a fearless batting approach, exemplified by Suryakumar Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Hardik Pandya in the first two matches.

India may make a few changes to their lineup to give opportunities to players who have not yet played. Shubman Gill, who missed the second T20I due to a neck spasm, is expected to replace Sanju Samson. Players like Shivam Dube, Khaleel Ahmed, and Washington Sundar might also get a chance in the final T20I.

Sri Lanka’s middle-order batting collapses have been their downfall in this series, while India has consistently performed like a world champion side. Despite moments when Sri Lanka seemed to be in control, India’s incisive bowling has kept them ahead.

Sri Lanka might also consider changes to their XI to try and salvage a win.

India Likely XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Khaleel Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj.
