Indian cricket team will be up against England in the second T20I on Saturday, 9th July at Edgbaston. England skipper Joe Root won the toss and decided to bowl first. Rohit Sharma however wanted to bat first again just like the team did in the first T20I. When asked about the changes, Rohit Sharma named four. Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja is back into the team.
These experienced four players replaced Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Axar Patel, and Arshdeep Singh who made his debut for Indian team in the last match against England at Southampton. There were lot of talks before the game (2nd T20I) that will Virat Kohli make it to the playing XI as the previous match XI played brilliantly. But despite all that talks, Virat is back in the team and will most likely open the innings with skipper Rohit Sharma.
All these 4 players were given rest after they played the last Test match against England and then added to the squad ahead of this 2nd T20I.
India’s playing XI (2nd T20I):
Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah.
