Harsh Dubey replaces injured Washington Sundar as India prepare for ODI decider at Lord’s | Cricket News

India drafted an all-rounder Great Dubey in their squad for the third and final ODI against England afterwards Washington Sundar lost due to a right hamstring injury.Sundar picked up the injury during the second ODI at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff and will miss Sunday’s series decider at Lord’s. The all-rounder is set to undergo scans and seek a specialist opinion to determine the extent of the injury. Dubey’s inclusion comes ahead of a high-stakes contest where the three-match series is locked at 1-1. England bounced back from defeat in Birmingham to level the series in Cardiff, setting up a winner-takes-all clash at the Home of Cricket.The hosts will take confidence from Joe Root’s unbeaten 99 in the second ODI. The former England captain has now registered five consecutive ODI half-centuries and once again emphasized his ability to anchor an innings under pressure.India, on the other hand, will look to Jasprit Bumrah to regain the upper hand against Root after the England batsman successfully negotiated his spell in Cardiff.There were encouraging signs for the visitors despite the loss, with Virat Kohli returning to form with a fluent 65. The veteran batsman is now a 50-plus score away from equaling Kumar Sangakkara’s record for the most fifty against England in ODI cricket.Rohit Sharma, however, remains under scrutiny after managing a half-century in eight ODI innings this year, while India are also hoping wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul is fit to return after missing the second ODI.India were chasing their first ODI win at Lord’s since 2004, with the win securing the series and a memorable end to the tour.India squad for third ODI: Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar, Prince Yadav and Harsh Du.
