India's probable playing XI for fifth ODI

Spinners

Kuldeep looks set to retain his place in the side

While the decision to rest the experienced duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja might have backfired, Axar Patel has ensured that India haven't missed them at all. The 23-year-old all-rounder from Gujarat has been incredibly effective with his slow left-arm orthodox.

With six wickets in four matches, not only has he got his name in the wickets column but also proven to be incredibly economical as well, performing two roles exceptionally. Expect him to continue as the side's primary spinner in the final ODI as well.

Having played just one match in the series so far, Kuldeep Yadav is likely to continue as the second choice spinner in the side. The fact that he has been difficult to pick will go in his favor and he looks set to play ahead of Yuzvendra Chahal who bowled in the first three ODIs alongside Axar.
