In the 2024 T20 World Cup, India continued where they left off. They have now defeated South Africa, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in T20 series. Can the World Champions be challenged by England? Two outstanding teams will engage in a tough struggle in the opening game.
Match Preview:
India will play England in the first Twenty20 International of England's visit to India. This match will take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This would be the first white-ball series between these two nations since the thrilling three-match T20I series in 2022, in which India won the series 2-1. The defending champions, India, will meet England in five Twenty20 Internationals in Kolkata, Chennai, Rajkot, Pune, and Mumbai starting on January 22. In this thrilling series, there will probably be a lot of high-scoring games and a lot of records broken.
Suryakumar Yadav will be the leader of India. Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal were left out of the team, and Sanju Samson will take over as wicketkeeper, with Dhruv Jurel as a backup. Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Kumar Reddy are all part of the team, despite missing the previous series in South Africa. Mohammad Shami is back in the starting lineup for the first time since World Cup 2023, and the pacer will be looking to get some practice in before the Champions Trophy. Their squad is really exciting.
The batting order includes, among others, Livingstone, Duckett, Salt, and Brook. The spin attack will be led by Adil Rashid, with Rehan serving as a backup. The fast bowling attack will be led by Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, with Gus Atkinson joining them. This series, coach Mcculum, who will be in charge of the white ball setup, has announced that Jos Buttler will not be wearing the gloves.
