India vs England: How England might line up for the first T20I

Bowlers: David Willey, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, and Chris Jordan

David Willey and Adil Rashid, in addition to being extremely handy lower order batsmen, are two bowlers that are key to England's success in this series. Willey is England's only genuine swing bowler, and given that India's top order has struggled against the likes of Mitchell Starc, Jason Behrendorff, Trent Boult, and other left-arm swing bowlers in the past, he will be looking to expose that chink in their armour. Rashid is the team's front-line spinner, and he will be looking to expose India's fragile middle-order with his guile, deception, and variations.

Since his recall to the side in 2016, Plunkett has been ever so reliable, both in ODIs and T20s. He, along with Chris Jordan, will be asked to shoulder the team's death bowling responsibilities against an explosive Indian batting line-up. While both Plunkett and Jordan are genuine wicket-takers, both of them have the propensity of being expensive on occasions. However, given the depth of this English side, they have more than enough bowlers to cover-up in case one of them is having an off-day.
