Shreyas Iyer
Another ideal replacement could be Iyer. While he has been a regular in the T20Is, following the arrival of Dhawan and Kohli being retained, along with Suryakumar Yadav's deadly form, he was not a first-choice selection. However, Kohli's rest will undoubtedly be a significant reason to bring Iyer back into the fray. Also, being an established number four batter, the team management would not mind having him at number three to check how he fits into the role, considering Kohli's poor form.
