India’s predicted playing XI for the 1st T20I against England

Middle-Order: Rahul Tripathi, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson

The returnee, Suryakumar Yadav would be given a chance straight away as he needs practice due to being out for a significant amount of time now. Rahul Tripathi is also expectant of a place in the starting eleven given his great performance in the recently concluded Indian T20 League. In 14 matches, the Ranchi-born batter made 413 runs at an average of 37.55 and a strike rate of 158. Sanju Samson, who captained Rajasthan to the Indian T20 League final, has trained hard in the past few weeks after the 20-20 league ended. He too should make a part of the side in the middle-order.
