India vs england: In front of the high speed, the weakness of Sanju Samson and the poor form of Rinku Singh and the fitness of fitness England will be a matter of concern for the Indian team management before the fourth T20 match on Friday. After losing the third match in Rajkot, the Indian team has another chance to win the series before the last match in Mumbai on February 2. Suryakumar Yadav’s team won the first two matches in Kolkata and Chennai.
Kerala wicketkeeper batsman Samson started the T20 season with three centuries against Bangladesh and South Africa. His score in the current series has been 26, 5 and 3, which is a matter of concern. He is unable to face balls with a speed of 145 km.
He played the balls of Taskin Ahmed, Tanjim Hasan Shakib against Bangladesh while he faced the balls of South Africa’s Endile Symple and Lutho Sipamla. He is not a very dangerous fast bowler and Samson played him well. At the same time, England’s Jofra Archer and Mark Wood bowl at a speed of 145 to 155 km, whose speed has become a cause of trouble for Samson.
In all three matches, he returned to the pavilion by catching Phil Salt. Samson is one of the favorite players of head coach Gautam Gambhir and it is understood that he will maintain confidence in them in view of next year’s T20 World Cup. But they have to overcome technical shortcomings.
Dhruv Jurael was lowered at number seven due to Rinku Singh’s back discomfort but he could not fit in this format. Rinku was rested in the first two matches but Assistant Coach Ryan Ten Doyshe declared him fit for Friday at a press conference held on the match eve. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Rinku returns to the playing XI or not.
The Indian middle order is also not able to play England spinner Adil Rashid and in such a situation, it is to be seen whether Dubey gets a chance. The third option is Ramandeep Singh, who is a finisher and a better fast bowler than Dubey. But they have not been tested in front of the best fast bowlers.
Mohammed Shami has returned to the team after a long time and made a good comeback in Rajkot. It remains to be seen that if India’s best T20 bowler Arshdeep Singh gets a place in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, then you can get success in the powerplay.
Let me tell you, this match is to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. In such a situation, today fans can get to see a high scoring match. If the team is not able to make more than 200, then it can be largely due to good bowling instead of help from the pitch.
India has played 4 T20 international matches so far on this ground. In this, India has won 2 and defeat in two. The best score of a team team on this ground has been 201 runs, while the shortest score is 101 runs.
Pune pitch is made of black clay, which is considered more favorable for spin. Fast bowlers will not get much help here. If the batsmen stay for a while and take the eyes, then you can play a long innings. On this ground, teams win the toss and decide to bat first.
