Team India has made a big change in its team after the defeat in Rajkot T20. This team, captained by Suryakumar, made 3 major changes in the Pune T20 team. Rinku Singh and Arshdeep Singh returned to the team. Shivam Dubey has also managed to return to the team. Team India excluded Dhruv Jurael, Mohammed Shami, Washington Sundar. This match of T20 series is very important. While England would like to win this match to stay in the T20 series, Team India would like that they will seal the series in Pune itself. Currently, Team India is ahead 2–1 in the series.

India's playing XI

Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakraborty

Why Shami was out?

Mohammed Shami returned to the cricket field after a long time. He was given a chance in Rajkot T20 but he could not achieve any success. But in the next match, he was dropped from the playing XI. The big question is why Mohammed Shami was excluded? Was his performance not good? Or this player was out due to fitness.

Beautiful-jurlel failed

Washington Sundar played in the last 2 T20 matches and in both matches, he could not do anything special with the ball and bat. He scored 32 runs in two T20s and he was zero in terms of wickets, he did not get any success. Jurael's bat also did not run in both T20 matches. He was included in the team in place of Rinku Singh. However, this player could not even get a chance properly.

How did Shivam Dubey enter the team?

Shivam Dubey was not chosen by Team India in the team but Nitish Reddy got a chance in the team due to injury. Now Shivam Dubey has been given a chance in the playing XI itself. The main reason for this is his stronger against spinners. Team India has been harassed by Adil Rashid in the T20 series, Shivam Dubey has been kept in the team to counter him.
