The Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav mentioned two changes in the composition of the Men in Blue team, bringing Dhruv Jurel and a local boy/spinner Washington Sundar to today’s meeting with England in the second T20i in Chennai to the pitch.

India won the draw and was the first to decide to play bowling, trusting their tellers that they would perform the task just like the last time.

Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was to take part in the competition, was unfortunately excluded at the last minute due to a side injury, which excluded him from participating in the entire T20i series.

In his place, the versatile Shivam Dube returns to the Indian team after the last performance for Men in Blue in August 2024 in the Odi series against Sri Lance, before he leaves the next T20i match against Bangladesh because of his back injury he suffered an injury. However, today he was not in the eleven playing the second T20i.

The injuries did not end for India, because the passionate baton of Rink Singh was also excluded from the second and third T20i lasting five matches of the series against England due to back contraction. Ramandeep Singh was added to the ranks as a reserve player of the stronger lower class.

Although injuries are not the most urgent for Hindus, Men in Blue will continue to follow, hoping to continue the impressive victory in the first T20i, in which they smashed guests and sealed the convenient victory of 7 goals.

Arshdeep Singh, which today received the ICC award for the Men’s T20i cricket, will be focused on achieving another milestone: becoming the first Indian hatch to score 100 international T20I goals.
