England vs India: India's predicted XI against England in the first T20I

Bowlers- Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Siddarth Kaul and Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal

Bhuvneshwar Kumar hasn't been in the best of form of late having picked up only 9 wickets in this year's IPL and a wicketless spell against Ireland. However, one can expect him to put his best foot forward against a difficult English batting line-up. The swing king has picked up 28 wickets in 27 matches while conceding runs at a meagre economy rate of 6.6. One can expect a solid showing from Bhuvi as the conditions in England will suit his style of bowling.

Kuldeep Yadav has been one of the latest sensations in the modern game. He is a chinaman bowler, a type of bowler seen very rarely. He has formed one half of India's new spin combo. He has deceived batsmen with his bowling and has been outstanding for India.

He picked up 7 wickets in the 2 match series against Ireland. He has picked up 19 wickets in 10 matches at an economy rate 7.3.

Siddarth Kaul has had a fantastic last 2 years. He was nowhere close to a spot in the SRH team during the 2016 season but was one of their best players in 2017. He carried that form into 2018 and as a result, earned a call-up to the Indian team.

He was excellent on his International debut against Ireland with figures of 1/4 from 2 overs. He could get the nod ahead of Umesh Yadav due to his ability to bowl at the death whereas, Umesh wasn't trusted with the ball at the death for RCB by Virat Kohli.

Yuzvendra Chahal has formed a lethal spin combo along with Kuldeep Yadav and has been brilliant with his leg spin. He will head into the series with a lot of confidence as he picked up 6 wickets in 2 matches against Ireland.

The former Mumbai Indians player has picked up 41 wickets for India in just 23 matches at an economy rate of 7.87. In his recent most outing against England, he picked up 6 wickets and will look to replicate those performances, come the 3rd of July.
