The second T20I between India and England is underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. England stands at 137/8 after Brydon Carse’s dismissal, as the Indian bowlers continue to dominate the game.
Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav opted to bat first after winning the toss against Jos Buttler’s England. The match, part of a five-game series, follows India’s commanding victory in the first T20I in Kolkata, where opener Abhishek Sharma’s 79-run knock proved instrumental.
For this match, India made two changes: Washington Sundar and Dhruv Jurel replaced Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh, adding depth to the batting and bowling lineup. On England’s side, Brydon Carse has struggled to stabilize the innings as India’s bowlers maintain tight control.
Key Updates:
- Abhishek Sharma, who twisted his ankle during Friday’s warm-up, has recovered and is in the playing XI.
- Mohammed Shami, though fit, did not make the XI due to India’s team combination strategy.
Teams:
India (Playing XI):
Sanju Samson (w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy
