Bureau Report :

Failing to perform as expected in two out of three matches, India will look to take on the all-round performance in the fourth T20 International on Thursday, with the intention of equalizing the five-match series against the strong England team.

He says that given the T20 World Cup to be held at home this year, the team should chase the target or bat first, it needs to perform well. In the two matches India have lost while batting first, the team had to struggle in the power play , Due to which the final score of the team was affected while one batsman in both the matches.(Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli respectively) performed brilliantly. India is also suffering from the poor form of Lokesh Rahul, but Kohli has made it clear that the Karnataka batsman and Rohit Sharma are his priority as the opening pair..

Stormy bowlers Mark Wood and Joffra Archer of England have troubled the Indian batsmen in the first six overs. Both of these have been able to put the Indian batsmen in a dilemma by getting extra bounce from the wicket. Looking at Kohli’s statement after the third match, another all-rounder in the team along with Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar could get a place and he could be one of Rahul Tewatia and Akshar Patel awaiting debut.
