India vs England
India currently leads England 2-0 in their five-match T20 series and are looking to extend their winning streak against them to four matches by taking out game three at Rajkot on Tuesday.
The match will be streamed live in India through Disney-Plus Hotstar and other Star Sport channels; starting at 5 pm IST.
England may have made a slow start to their international season, but England have an incredible opportunity to turn it around against India and win their series by engaging in an ODI series that begins January 28 at Lord’s Cricket Ground, commonly referred to as “the Cathedral of Cricket.”
Tilak Varma led India to an unlikely two-wicket win against England in their second T20I at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday thanks to his brilliant innings, scoring 72 off 55 balls as India reached 166/7 by the 20th over. Although under immense pressure as India faltered down to 126/7 during their innings slump, Varma held his nerve and helped propel his Men in Blue through to their unlikely win with one ball remaining.
Rohit Sharma will look to replicate his Border-Gavaskar Trophy form against England at Lord’s. Although Rohit has struggled against their opposition so far in three innings versus England, he may retain his captaincy for the Champions Trophy starting February 27.
Ravindra Jadeja leads India in all-rounder rankings and stands as its only representative ranked within the top 10 of both Tests and ODIs. A star player at home, Jadeja is widely considered as one of the best all-rounders worldwide, having given England some memorable batting performances in past matches.
Indian Cricket Team Announce Change for Third T20I India have made one change to their playing XI for the third T20I against England at Rajkot on March 17, introducing Mohammed Shami into their playing XI, replacing Arshdeep Singh who has not featured since 2021 ODI World Cup Final – his return could prove vital in helping India secure a whitewash victory against England at this crucial game in Rajkot where pacers often flourish on its fast and reliable pitches.
