Well that was boring, hope India can up their game or Sunday will be a confectionery stroll.

Chahal needs to be dropped.. Dude has been getting outbowled in T20s by opposition leggies for a long time. Sodhi in NZ. Zampa in India &>Zampa + Swepson in Aus. Here by Adil Rashid
Rahul Chahar must be tried. He is quick through the air & has a faster googly.
He is due to RCB quota.

I still don't get why Rohit is rested ? Who rests player at the start of the series.

Ideally this series helps to answer a few doubts that the selectors may have had regarding Dhawan and Chahal.

Gotta figure out who the no.7 should be as well. As good as the Lord is, I think 7 is a bit high. Maybe Tewatia for Chahal and stick him in at 7.

Chahal is pretty rubbish now eh? Good for an occasional match-winning performance but otherwise he seems to go the distance

We should dump Dhawan in T20. Kulcha experiment is over. I love them but it's time to move on.

Rohit is rested for Two games as Kolli mentioned at toss. Perfect opportunity to test Kishan.
Next Playing XI
Kishan
Rahul
VK
Shreyas
Pant
Hardik
Tewatia
Sundar
Shardul
Bhuvi
Saini

Pretty sure this XI will put up a great fight & can beat England if Kishan explodes in Powerplay

Astounds me how conservative India can be with their selections at times. As an onlooker from the UK, is it purely bias in favour of some players/politics?

Kishan and Yadav had a gun last IPL and their part of the winning franchise. To not see them in the XI must be a bit disappointing?

It is heart breaking as an Indian fan. We know we can put up a solid T20 team but there is lot of internal politics in Indian cricket. Tewatia is also gun leg spinning A/R. Dhawan never was a T20 player & kohli is getting worse day by day.
Kishan & Suryakumar are much needed.

Just saw scorecard. Shardul Thakur was our spearhead in this game. LOL.

They might be trying out combinations so fine but can't help recall how badly trying arbitrary combinations before last world cup worked out for India.

England is having a lend sending home and “resting” Buttler from a test series amid concerns of fatigue in a busy year, only to fly him back to the same tour venue to play a set of T20s three weeks later. A mockery of the game.

Whatever it takes!!!
One of the best ex-cricketer tweeters for sure.

On the game itself, I was stuck in meetings till about midnight so basically had to catch the game in mute. England came in with really good plans and surprised India. But their batsmen definitely looked pretty frenetic against spin. India are trying out a new approach to their batting and it will take time, and we will have to eat some losses. But I like the direction the team says they are looking to go in and I feel we will get better with more games. Calling India to take the series inspite of what happened yesterday.

Hard to read into that bowling performance too much given the low total they were defending. Some of the sixes were borderline too, could've easily been out.

Pretty much all the LO games we lose these days are because the top order fails. Once Rohit swaps with Dhawan we should be much better off, even if we don't end up beating England who're just a quality outfit.

No surprises the current line up would get walloped in a crunch Semi against a strong T20 team like WI again. Failing to reach above par score & get crashed out. Entire approach is wrong.
