Deepak Hooda was sent up the order after Sanju Samson was edged and had to walk back to the pavilion.
India surprises the fans to send Hooda to bat, who did not bat in the last two T20 games, despite being in the playing XI.
India preferred Ravindra Jadeja to bat up the order in the previous games, but with two quick fall of wickets, India might be hoping for a long intense partnership, to stablise an easy win.
