With the line-up already filled, Manish might find it difficult to make it to the playing XI.
Middle order batsman Manish Pandey once again may be relegated to the bench during the upcoming T20 series as the middle order looks settled for now. KL Rahul will continue to bat at number 4 in the near future given his stupendous record in the shortest format of the game. Rishabh Pant is seen as the long-term wicket-keeping prospect, so he might get a lengthy run at the number 6 position in the line-up.

The finisher's role in the team has been assigned to seasoned campaigner Dinesh Karthik who has been stable at that position till now. So with the line-up already filled, Manish might find it difficult to make it to the playing XI.
He will most probably get an opportunity to play only if one of the top or middle order players gets injured or decides to rest.

Balakrishna
Balakrishna has been a cricket writer at Sportskeeda for almost seven years. A sport that he has been following and playing since he was eight, Balakrishna enjoys the intensity of the sport, skills and strategies applied to get a result out of nowhere, and the thrill that it gives. He also played as a medium pace bowling all-rounder in four inter-college tournaments, winning twice.
Balakrishna’s all-time favorite cricketers are Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma. He admires Sachin’s stellar performances against legendary bowlers, along with his discipline and humility. Meanwhile, he is a big fan of how Rohit turned around his initial struggles to build a successful career.
He avidly supports Team India and 2016 IPL winners SunRisers Hyderabad. The first World Cup that Balakrishna ever saw was the 2003 World Cup, when Australia comprehensively triumphed over India in the final.
While working, he ensures he only uses reliable sources and provides relevant, ethical, and accurate information. When not working, Balakrishna enjoys playing table tennis and reading non-fiction books.
