India May Drop Ishan Kishan for Prabhsimran Singh's Debut
The Indian cricket team is considering dropping Ishan Kishan for the third T20I against Zimbabwe to make room for Prabhsimran Singh's debut.
Aakash Chopra suggests this move because India has already won the series 2-0, making it a good time to experiment.
Prabhsimran is a wicketkeeper who can also bat, and he has performed well in the IPL.
Ishan Kishan has been doing well, but Chopra thinks giving him a break could be beneficial.
The decision is between dropping Kishan or Abhishek Sharma, who has struggled with runs but took three wickets in the second match.
