Judging from what was said here when Kuldeep was dropped for the last game but Chahal was retained because he's Kohli's mate, I'd guess Chahal was the forced change. Unless he wants to give his second choice spinner a go and his first choice a rest in a deadrubber.Sri Lanka win the toss and decide to bat first.
India drop Shami and Chahal. Kuldeep and Jadeja in. Kolhi says one of the two dropped was forced, I hope it's not Shami. :/
Edit: bat first
Commentators have not mentioned any injuries, so I guess it must what you said.Judging from what was said here when Kuldeep was dropped for the last game but Chahal was retained because he's Kohli's mate, I'd guess Chahal was the forced change.

100th wicket too. Best Indian fast bowler I've ever seen.Bumrah is some bowler.
Some serious competition for that award..100th wicket too. Best Indian fast bowler I've ever seen.
Aye, I'm in no position to follow the politics of the Indian team so I mainly go off what I read here.Commentators have not mentioned any injuries, so I guess it must what you said.
Bumrah is beautiful to watch.
Not Woak enough.Disappointed that Bumrah didn't get three maidens in a row.
There have been a few who have been very good but underappreciatedSome serious competition for that award..
The last column is a little pointless, to be honest. Doesn't really tell you anything otherwise an interesting table.
Bowlers stats since 2015 against the World Cup teams (apart from Afghanistan). I've sorted them by Avg x SR.
Starc's in a class of his own. Boult, Yadav, Fizz & Bumrah are bunched up pretty close.
Zak was an incredible bowler.Some serious competition for that award..
Really impressed with him. Hope SL management don't screw him. Needs to be groomed. Making of a top batsmen if he keeps on playing like this.This Avishka Fernando looks like a decent player.
I've seen some terrific spells of pace and swing bowling from Indian pacers. RP Singh when he broke through, Ishant Sharma down under when he tormented Ponting, Zak when he'd get the ball to reverse swing late into test matches. Bumrah's strangling accuracy this world cup has been right up there.Zak was an incredible bowler.
I still don't think he will play in the semis. Can see is going with 3 pacers and a spinner and pandya against England. Maybe at lords if we play the final he would play but doubt at edgbastonOnly took us 8 games to play Jadeja.
Stopped about 10 runs, responsible for the loose shot by Karu and taken a wicket.
Not going to be chasing too manyGood toss to lose, need to get some confidence chasing
Bairstow, Williamson and Bumrah are definite lock ins. I'd argue that Kohli and Stokes should be in as well.So with five games left is anyone else a bit surprised at how many spaces there are in the team of the tournament?
Sharma, Shakib and Starc are locks but beyond that I'm struggling to really nail down places, especially for a spinner and a wicket keeper. A lot of people have had good tournaments (Warner, Finch, Root, Williamson, Bairstow, Kohli, Babar,Mustafizur , Archer, Bumrah, Amir, Afridi, Ferguson) but is it wrong of me to think that only those first three have had great ones?
DK should make way for him. Definitely should play.I still don't think he will play in the semis. Can see is going with 3 pacers and a spinner and pandya against England. Maybe at lords if we play the final he would play but doubt at edgbaston
Without checking stats, I'd go Sharma Roy Kohli (c) Shakib Williamson Babar Stokes Neesham Starc Bumrah Ferguson.So with five games left is anyone else a bit surprised at how many spaces there are in the team of the tournament?

Carey been a class above the rest. Solid keeper and runs every time they've been in a spot of bother.So with five games left is anyone else a bit surprised at how many spaces there are in the team of the tournament?

You're missing a keeper.Without checking stats, I'd go Sharma Roy Kohli (c) Shakib Williamson Babar Stokes Neesham Starc Bumrah Ferguson.
I'd go with the most influential players for each team.
I'd go along with that, but he hasn't had that much of a better tournament than Buttler (less runs at a worse strike rate) and I think most of us would say that Buttler has disappointed.Carey been a class above the rest. Solid keeper and runs every time they've been in a spot of bother.
