Suryakumar Yadav Sanju Samson
India vs England Probable Playing XI : Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India is once again going to take the field for the T20 International match. This time the Indian team will face England. There are five matches to be played in the series, which will be very important. The team for this has been announced by BCCI. Now is the time to understand what could be India’s playing eleven in the first match. Especially if we talk about number three, the curtain is yet to be lifted on who will come out to bat here.
Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson are sure to come for the opening.
Team India’s opening pair for the first T20 match to be held against England on January 22 in Kolkata is almost certain. Since only two openers have been selected in the squad, there is no need to think too much. Sanju Samson will be seen opening the innings with Abhishek Sharma. Earlier it was expected that Ruturaj Gaikwad might also get a place in the team, but the selectors might have thought something else, that is why there are only two openers in the team.
Who will get the chance at number three between Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma?
If we talk about number three, then this place belongs to captain Suryakumar Yadav and he has proved himself at this number. But in the last two matches of the series against South Africa, Tilak Verma came to bat at number three and scored two centuries. Therefore, now they are also presenting their claim for the third position. Now it will be interesting to see whether Suryakumar Yadav again gives his place to Tilak or comes to play himself. But it is certain that they will land at numbers three and four.
Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy will provide strength with ball and bat.
Hardik Pandya has also been selected in the team, so he may get a chance to bat at number 5. Nitish Kumar Reddy is one of those players who have just returned from Australia tour and have been selected in this series as well. They can also be seen playing. The advantage of having Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy is that apart from batting, both of them also support the team in bowling and the team looks very strong. Rinku Singh will once again be seen playing the role of a finisher.
Mohammed Shami will return, bowling may be like this
If we talk about bowling, Mohammed Shami is returning to Team India after a long time. Although he has played domestic cricket, but before the Champions Trophy, he will have to play some international matches also, so that he can prove his fitness. His playing also is almost certain. Arshdeep Singh can be seen supporting him. If we talk about spinners then Akshar Patel and Varun Chakraborty are better options. Akshar Patel has also been made the vice-captain for this series, which means he is also certain to play.
India’s probable playing eleven for the first T20 match against England: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Varun Chakraborty, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh.
Team India for England series: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel (vice-captain), Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakraborty, Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper).
