5 England players India should be wary of in the T20I series

#3 Jason Roy

Jason Roy

The England opening batsman has been in absolutely scorching form recently and put the Australian attack to the sword in the recently concluded ODI series at home. Jason Roy’s assault on the Australian bowlers at the top of the order was one of the big reasons for the sort of totals that England brought up in the series and he did so consistently.

The right-hander made 2 centuries and a fifty in 5 games to top the batting charts in the series with a total of 304 runs. He averaged 60.80 and recorded a strike rate of 118.28. India must have a plan in place for him and perhaps the answer lies in Roy’s performance in the IPL, in which he struggled to get going whenever faced with spinners during the Powerplay.

In Yuzvendra Chahal, India has a bowler who thrives in such situations and it could well be the best way of tackling the considerable threat posed by the England opener.
