Bengaluru: England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and decided to bat in the third and final T20 match being played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Wednesday.

Both teams announced one change each with Virat Kohli confirming the debut for Rishabh Pant who comes into the team in place of Manish Pandey, while for England, Liam Plunkett replaced Liam Dawson.

Meanwhile, with the three-match T20I series squared at 1-1, the final game promises to be an exciting contest with India aiming to pocket another series win while England will be hoping to end their lacklustre tour on a high.

After a poor batting display in both the previous games, all eyes will be on local boys Lokesh Rahul, and Virat Kohli (captain of the Indian Premier League side -- Royal Challengers Bangalore) to give a strong start to the hosts.

Not only the opening pair, the onus of piling up a good score will also lie on the famed middle order comprising Suresh Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. So far, India's middle order has failed to click as a unit in both the games, with England seizing the advantage to restrict the hosts to below par scores.
On the other hand, the visitors have shown their intent by clinching the first T20I and would eye another victory to end their dismal tour on a winning note.
Squads:

India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Lokesh Rahul, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Rishabh Pant, Mandeep Singh, Manish Pandey, Amit Mishra, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Parvez Rasool, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya.

England: Eoin Morgan (Captain), Moeen Ali, Joe Root, Jos Buttler (wk), Liam Plunkett, Ben Stokes, Tymal Mills, Chris Jordan, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings,Liam Dawson, Alex Hales , Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, David Willey.
