Rohit Sharma would not like to make any changes in the winning team

The star players of the Indian team Yuzvendra Chahal and Rishabh Pant did not get a chance to play in the last match. At the same time, Harshal Patel also had to sit outside. It was said in many media reports that Hardik Pandya can be rested in the next match. Rishabh Pant can get a chance to play in his place. At the same time, Yuzvendra Chahal can be tried in place of Ravichandran Ashwin. However, it seems less likely. Rohit Sharma would not like to make any changes in the winning team.
