NEW DELHI: Former India batsman Aakash Chopra believes that India should give Prabhsimran Singh a chance in the third and final T20I against Zimbabwe after the series was sealed. India took an unassailable 2-0 lead with convincing wins in the first two matches. The final game will be played in Harare on Sunday.Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra questioned why Prabhsimran was not given a chance.“I am thinking of playing Prabh (Prabhsimran Singh) too. What is wrong with him? You chose Prabhsimran Singh, and we have no idea when you will choose him again.

You won the series,” Chopra said.Chopra said India should continue to support Abhishek Sharma despite his poor scores in the first two games. Instead, he suggested giving Ishan Kishan a rest and bringing Prabhsimran to play in the XI. Abhishek scored 1 run in the first T20I and then fell for 8 in the second T20I.“So play him (Prabhsimran) in place of Abhishek, or else play him in place of Ishan. You can play him in place of Ishan. Don’t play him in place of Abhishek. He doesn’t score runs. Two games are not good for him. So play him in the third too. Make him score runs, and if a bowling option is also needed,” he said the former bowling option is also needed,” he said with the bowling option open. Prabhsimran is yet to make his international debut. The Punjab Kings wicketkeeper-batter has scored 3,665 runs in 127 T20 innings at a strike rate of 151.50.“Give Ishan a break. Prabhsimran Singh can easily continue the work as well. So you can use him as a player. This is an opportunity to give to Prabh,” he said.
