Team India Fourth T20i Playing 11 vs Eng: 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. Indian wicketkeeper batsman Samson started the T20 season with three centuries against Bangladesh and South Africa. In the current series, his score has been 26, 5 and three, 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 and he can fit till the fourth match. By the way, Rinku is also not in his best form. When Gambhir became a mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders, Rinku got a total of 70 balls in 2024 IPL and could not make it to the T20 World Cup team. Shivam Dubey got a place in the team on the basis of his bowling.
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 better fast bowler than Dubey being a finisher, but he has 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.
India’s possible playing can be like this in the fourth T20
