India’s playing XI in the T20Is against England
India go into the T20I series with a settled batting combination. If the team management wants to tinker with the combination, it should with India’s bowling. Rotations are expected to take place to keep the bowlers fresh going into a long season.
The Indian cricket fraternity will be waiting to see the arrival of Rishabh Pant on the international stage. At least for the first match, one can expect the Men in Blue to go in with Chahal and Bhuvneshwar ahead of Ashwin and Nehra.
This is how India will probably line-up going into the first game of the three-match series at Kanpur.
KL Rahul
Rishabh Pant
Virat Kohli (captain)
MS Dhoni (wk)
