New Delhi: Team India will take on England today to play the second match of the five-match T20 series. The match will begin at 7 pm at Edgbaston, Birmingham. After winning the first match of the series, Team India is leading the series 1-0. Former Team India captain Virat Kohli, current captain Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant are returning to this match. In such a situation, this match is considered to be the real start of this year's T20 World Cup mission. In fact, Kohli and Rohit will play the T20 International match after about five months, while Pant played the T20 match only last month.
There is also a piece of good news for the fans that these three players Rohit, Kohli and Pant will be seen playing together after 4 months. Earlier, the three had played a match for India together on March 4 this year. The match was the Mohali Test against Sri Lanka, in which Team India won by an innings and 222 runs. It was the same match against Sri Lanka, in which Ravindra Jadeja played a brilliant knock of 175 not out. At the same time, in this match, Rishabh Pant scored a whirlwind 96 runs. Jadeja was given player of the match. In this match, Rohit Sharma contributed 29 runs and Kohli 45 runs.
Let us know that against a strong team like England, the Indian management is going to field its full-strength team. Through this, the team's strengths and weaknesses for this year's T20 World Cup will be predicted. The World Cup will be played in October-November hosted by Australia. Along with Kohli, Rohit and Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel are also likely to participate in this full-strength Team India. However, choosing the perfect final XI for the second T20 match will be a challenge for the management. Now we have to see who gets a chance.
Team India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Akshar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Harshal Patel and Umran Malik.
