The first match of the five-match T20 series will be held between India and England from 7 pm today at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera. Looking at the performance of both the teams in T20 cricket, it would not be wrong to say that in this match we may get to see a thorn collision. As it is seen earlier, India has beaten England easily in the Test series, but this time English team is going to be a big challenge for India in the T20 series. It is also being said that 10 out of 11 players of the current England team have already played in the IPL and are experienced players with a great game strategy.
India-England record in T20: According to reports, both teams have faced each other in this format 14 times in T20 International. Both of which have won 7-7 times. England has played a total of 6 matches against India on Indian soil so far, in which they have won 3 matches and lost 3 matches.
Suryakumar, Ishan Kishan, and Rahul Tewatia difficult to play: While Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and Rahul Tewatia have got a place in the Indian team for the 5-match T20 series against England, but it is difficult to play all three in the first match. However, it is being speculated that Axar Patel may return to the team after a long time. Looking at the pitch, it has also come to light that Virat Kohli can include 3 spinners in the final 11 in this match. With this, it has also become clear that Hardik Pandya will be seen bowling, but he will play for the sixth bowling option.
Rahul and Rohit will open: Indian team captain Virat Kohli has clearly said that in the first T20, vice-captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are going to open. In such a situation, it is clear that Shikhar Dhawan will not get a place in the playing XI. At the same time, Shreyas Iyer may get a chance in the middle order, because considering the current form of Rishabh Pant, it is believed that he will play the role of match finisher along with Hardik Pandya. At the same time, India can face the visiting team in the form of three spin bowlers Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, and Yuzvendra Chahal. So the fast bowling department can be responsible for Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar.
