After a riveting contest in the first T20I, India will be looking to seal the series with a win in the next match against England. The Indian side did not have a good outing when they last played in Edgbaston. The rescheduled Test played in the same venue resulted in a thumping Indian defeat.
With the action shifting to the limited-overs format, the Men in Blue will be confident against an England side that lacks star players like Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes. The number one side in the T20I format will be bolstered by the expected return of big guns like Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah.
It will be interesting to see who will keep wickets for India as Dinesh Kartik, Sanju Samson, and the one-off Test centurion Rishabh Pant all seem to be in fine form.
England will be expecting more of their T20 specialists like Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone. Skipper Jos Butler also seemed a little rusty in the opening fixture after having an incredible IPL season. England might not make any changes in the squad for the upcoming fixture.
