#1 Formidable opening pair

India have probably the best opening pair in T20Is at present. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma perfectly complement each other as Dhawan plays shots right from the start while Rohit takes his time to settle in and then goes on to play big innings for India.
Having scored a 160 runs opening partnership against Ireland in the first T20I, both Shikhar and Rohit will carry this form in the T20Is against England and will look to take on the English bowlers head-on. England's bowlers will be well aware of their destructive nature and will look to get them out early.
Dhawan and Rohit's form will be crucial for India's success at the T20I series in England.
