Aakash Chopra picks his playing XI for upcoming T20I series vs England

The India team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, has been revealed for the forthcoming five-match Twenty20 International series. The public will be anticipating the team’s young and talented players in the forthcoming series, when they will face some of the best English players.

In the ten days leading up to the series, experts have already expressed their thoughts on which players should be included in the starting lineup. In the game’s shorter format, this young Indian team will try to maintain their domination.

In addition, former India opening batsman and analyst Aakash Chopra has selected his own starting eleven based on his predictions for the games.

Along with young, daring all-rounder Abhishek Sharma, Aakash Chopra has selected Sanju Samson as the team’s opener and wicketkeeper. Suryakumar Yadav, the captain, and Tilak Varma will be the next two batters to form the top order. Axar Patel, who he has surprisingly chosen as his vice-captain ahead of Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Rinku Singh, and Hardik Pandya make up the middle order. The mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, Mohammed Shami, and Arshdeep Singh are at the tail of the eleven.

The Indian squad had only lost one game in their last three Twenty20 International series and concluded the 2024 season as the top team. Tilak Varma was the player of the series in the previous series, which they won 3-1 at home against South Africa. This series also saw the Indian team reach their highest-ever T20 international total of 283 runs in the fourth T20I, and Tilak achieved an incredible century, hitting 255.31 with 120 runs off just 47 deliveries. Additionally, in terms of runs, this was the Rainbow Nation’s largest loss.
