Predicting India’s Playing XI for their first T20I against England 

Explore our detailed prediction for India’s Playing XI. The first out of 5-match T20I series between India and England will start on January 22, at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. After a successful South Africa tour, the Men in Blue will take on the English team lead by captain Jos Buttler. After a series of injuries, Buttler will be super excited to play in India. He is one of the most loved cricketers and will surely do well in the upcoming games. However, there are some interesting players in India’s squad and captain Suryakumar Yadav will have a tough time turning the 16-member team into a playing XI.

India’s Probable Playing XI: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy

Here’s the predicted India’s Playing XI ahead of first T20I game:

Top Order:

India’s top order will feature Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma. These are the hard hitters of the team and once they get going, there’s no stopping them. Both Abhishek and Samson have scored a century in South Africa, so they’ll be high on confidence. 

Middle Order:

Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy are the middle order batters. While the exact order isn’t fixed as of now as informed by Axar Patel, these batters are best in the business. They have the ability to wreak havoc on the English bowlers anytime in the innings. Hence, the team will be dependent on them. 

Bowlers:

The main bowlers might be Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy. The return of Shami is good news for India as he will lead the pace attack. Apart from him, all the others are just brilliant and will surely have a good game ahead.
