The Indian team, led by Hardik Pandya, has been set a target of 133 runs in the first T20I against England at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Varun Chakravarthy's impressive bowling figures of 3/23 were the highlight of India's disciplined effort with the ball.
England's batting lineup struggled to gain momentum, with Jos Buttler's 68 being the sole bright spot. Harry Brook and Jofra Archer were the only other English batters to reach double figures.
India's Playing XI raised eyebrows with the omission of seasoned pacer Mohammed Shami. This five-match T20I series, followed by three ODIs, serves as an ideal opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their strategies and assess player form ahead of the Champions Trophy next month.
For England, this series marks the beginning of Brendon McCullum's tenure as all-format head coach. Ben Duckett is set to open the batting, while Phil Salt will don the wicket-keeping gloves, allowing Jos Buttler to bat at number three. England's pace attack, featuring Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, will look to challenge the Indian batting lineup.
