India vs England fifth T20 will be played today at Rose Ball Cricket Ground located in West End, Hampshire. The match will start at 7 pm according to Indian time, by winning which England would like to make a clean sweep while for Team India, it is a battle of honour. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, India has lost 2 consecutive series and has suffered a crushing defeat in 5 consecutive matches. Questions are being raised on Sanju Samson’s exclusion, so will he get a place back in the playing 11 today? Then whose card will be cut, can vice-captain Tilak Verma be dropped?
Change in top-3 difficult
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has debuted in this series. Although he could not score any significant runs in the 3 innings, but considering his hype and what he has done in IPL, he will get some chances regularly. It is difficult to drop either Ishan Kishan or Abhishek Sharma as both are ranked first and second respectively in the ICC T20 batting rankings. In such a situation, no change in the top-3 seems possible.
Will Sanju Samson play?
There was a continuous demand to feed Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vaibhav’s place in Team India was filled by Sanju Samson’s place. However, after the exclusion of the Player of the Tournament from the T20 World Cup, the management came under attack and questions were raised on the strategy of the coach and captain. Now the question is that if we want to bring Sanju in the playing 11, then who can be dropped.
Shreyas Iyer bats at number four. Sometimes Shivam comes at number five and sometimes Akshar is sent. Constant changes in the batting order reflect pressure. Then comes Tilak, whose bat is not performing in this series, there are constant demands for his ouster. But it is considered difficult that he will be dropped.
In such a situation, if Sanju Samson is brought in, then either Akshar Patel or Washington Sundar can be dropped. He could also be Shivam Dubey, who has not been able to do anything special with neither bat nor ball in this series.
