Cricket News: India vs England Second T20 Preview
After crushing England in the first game of the three-match T20I series, the young Indian team already has the upper hand over them
The Men in Blue will be led by a number of seasoned players, including Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, as they square off with the hosts for the second T20I at Edgbaston cricket ground
Indian Squad Changes
Indian pacers have performed admirably even on the Rose Bowl's flat surface. However, Bumrah's inclusion in the attack will increase their self-confidence. To make room for the pacer, Arshdeep Singh, who took a few wickets, may be benched for the upcoming match.
Ravindra Jadeja, who scored a tonne on the Edgbaston pitch earlier in the Test, can also take Axar Patel's spot. Deepak Hooda might be replaced by Kohli.
England Squad
Jos Buttler's debut game as captain of England ended up being a massive letdown. In the post-game discussion, he laid blame on the entire team. In order for them to recover from the forthcoming encounter, he also urged them to assume greater responsibility. In front of Indian pacers, the English batting lineup, including Buttler himself, saw a rare collapse. The bowlers were also costly because they were unable to prevent the visitors from achieving the enormous score.
