In today’s time, the T20 format of cricket is becoming the most popular. In this format, you get to see a record more than one. Be it the fall of wickets or the rain of fours and sixes, you get everything in these matches. In such a situation, if the competition is for our country then how will the curiosity of the people increase. The visiting team will play 5 T20 matches with England host India. This series is going to start today. These two teams will be face to face at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. So let’s know some interesting things related to this match:
This series will be important
Although every match is important for every team, but this series will be special for both teams for some different reason. Actually, T20 World Cup is going to be organized this year and the special thing is that India is going to host this tournament. In such a situation, England has a chance to understand how helpful or difficult India’s pitches can prove to be for them in the World Cup. At the same time, India will improve its preparation for the World Cup after seeing England’s performance on their pitches.
Who will be who will be out
Those who have been a witness to Indian cricket for years will be well aware that for a long time India has been troubled by the weak batting of the middle order, but today India has so many options that the management is not able to quickly decide whom. Who should be kept in the team and not. Apart from Rohit Sharma, India have two openers, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan. If both of them come in the team, it may be that Suryakumar Yadav, who made his place in the team after much hard work, will have to sit on the bench. This is because if the team sent Shikhar Dhawan along with Rohit Sharma as the opening pair, then KL Rahul would come to play at number four. In such a situation, there will not be a place for Suryakumar.

Return of Bhubaneswar
After almost a year and a half, Bhubaneswar can return to the field again. If media reports are to be believed then their play is almost certain. Bhuvi played his last T20 match against West Indies on 11 December 2019. Playing another bowler in the team depends on the explosive batsman Hardik Pandya. In the net practice, Hardik is seen practicing batting, he may not bowl. In this case, the team can give another fast bowler a place in the team. Either one of Shardul Thakur or T Natarajan can get a chance. Talking about spin, Washington Sundar may get a chance in the team along with spin specialist Yuzvendra Chahal. There is also a possibility of all-rounder Akshar Patel making his comeback after 3 years. Let me tell you that Akshar played his last T20 match against South Africa in Cape Town on 24 February 2018.
India has defeated England 3–1 in the Test series, after which Team India are freshly elevated. But despite this, David Malan, Ben Stokes, Eoin Morgan, wicketkeeper Butler and Zofra Archer can pose problems in front of them.
