Kedar Jadhav was drafted into the squad for the final two ODI games of the series and immediately made it to the playing XI for the fourth ODI. He made an unbeaten 16 in his comeback game and is expected to keep his spot for the final game. Rishabh Pant has failed to impress in the first three games and with the No.5 spot still undecided for the 2019 World Cup, selectors would want to give Jadhav an extended run.

Ravindra Jadeja edged out Chahal for the second spinner spot in the fourth ODI because of India's batting collapse in the third game. Ever since his comeback into the Indian team, Jadeja has been bowling well and making useful contributions with the bat. With the Indian middle-order looking fragile, Virat Kohli will want the luxury of having an all-rounder in the No.7 spot and Jadeja is the best there is in Hardik Pandya's absence.
