India will have to reshuffle its plans for the third and final T20I in Harare after fast bowler Prince Yadav picked up a hamstring injury. Captain Shreyas Iyer said the setback means the team will be forced into a few changes for the last game of the series.
The injury update came after India wrapped up the series with a commanding win in the previous match. That result gave the visitors an unassailable lead, allowing the team management to focus on balancing the side ahead of the finale while also dealing with the absence of Prince Yadav.
India’s batting played a major role in securing the series, with Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma making important contributions. Their strong showing helped the team put itself in control and underlined the depth in the batting unit at a key stage of the tour.
With the series already decided, attention now turns to how India replaces Prince Yadav and what combination it chooses for the final T20I. Shreyas Iyer’s comments suggest at least a few personnel adjustments are on the way as India looks to finish the Harare leg on a high.
