Men In Blue Ready To Strike Back In Second T-20 Against Strong Looking England
After a disappointing start to the series, Virat Kohli and his boys are eagerly waiting to claw back against the table topper England. Significantly, the Britishers showed that why they are the strongest team when it comes to limited-overs cricket after defeating the home side by eight wickets after restricting them to a total of 123.
It is in habit of the Indian team to bounce back after a fizzy start but Will they carry on with that in the second T-20i? This is a big question. However, both sides are following the rotation policy to find out the perfect combination of Eleven Players as the ICC Cricket T-20 World Cup is on the to-do list of teams this year.
Indian Skipper will likely introduce the changes in the playing XI as the batsmen except Shreyas Iyer have disappointed including the skipper itself. There is a strong possibility for Rohit Sharma to take his place as an opener in the second encounter.
Shikhar Dhawan who scored 4 just of 12 bowls might have to seat. Leg spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal who yesterday become the fastest India bowler to take 50 wickets and more can make way for Rahul Tewatia who can offer some with the bat too. There are very few chances of making changes in the fast-bowling department.
On the other hand, England and its skipper Eoin Morgon will be in no mood of changing the playing XI but seeing the world cup this year and being the major contender to win it might think of trying different options.
Let’s have a look at the details about the second international T-20 between two heavy loaded sides:
