Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium pitch report The pitch at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam can be expected to provide support to spin bowlers and hence, India might field a third spinner alongside Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav. Varun Chakaravarthy should return to the playing XI, ideally in place of Jasprit Bumrah, who could be rested given that the series is won. Also, it will be interesting to see whether Axar Patel returns to the team after sustaining a finger injury. The team that wins the toss might choose to bowl first, as dew can come into play. Visakhapatnam weather report The weather in Visakhapatnam is expected to be free of any interruption. No rain is expected on 28 January in Visakhapatnam at the time of the match. The temperature is set to hover between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius.
