The first and the only T20I between India and England will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and there isn’t too much doubting that the home fans will be baying for a clean sweep. If they do make it to the grounds that is.
India V England T20I At Kolkata Preview And Live Streaming
India and England will fight it out in the last game on the tour, a T20I at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
The India v England one-off T20 live will be shown on Star Cricket in India. The live coverage of the game starts from 1830 hours local time or 1300 hours GMT.
India clean-swept the English in the ODIs but what was worse was that the visitors barely had a chance in any of the games. The on-field behaviour came under a lot of scrutiny as well and the usually quiet MS Dhoni lambasted the opponents for this in his quiet way.
England will have a change of guard as Graeme Swann takes over the captaincy for this game from Alastair Cook. Cook will probably sit out the game as well, which should allow Craig Kieswetter to open the innings with Alex Hales. Jonny Bairstow should retain his spot, while Jos Buttler should make it the playing 11 as well.
The bowling should see the return of Jade Dernbach, whose changes of pace seem more suited to the shortest format of the game.
India will have changes of their own. With Gautam Gambhir out of the squad, Ajinkya Rahane should have a new opening batsman in Robin Uthappa. However, with Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja having sealed their berths in the playing 11, it would be interesting to see how Yusuf Pathan makes it to the side.
The bowling should remain the same, barring the fact that the inclusion of Pathan will add to the variety in the bowling. Varun Aaron will join Vinay Kumar and Praveen Kumar in the pace bowling department.
