ENG vs IND 4th T20: After losing the T20 series against Ireland, Team India is currently trailing 0-2 in the five-match T20 series against England. The fourth T20 match between India and England is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, July 9, at the County Ground in Bristol. If India loses this match, they will lose the series as well; therefore, this match is crucial for them. Several changes could be made to Team India's playing XI for this game.
IND vs ENG 4th T20: Will Indias playing XI change for the fourth T20?
The first T20 match between India and England was washed out due to rain, while England won the second and third matches. Team India will be eager to win the fourth match at any cost. India has not yet secured a victory under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy. For the second T20, Vaibhav Suryavanshi had replaced Sanju Samson—who had failed in the first match—in the playing XI; however, he too failed to perform well in both matches. This raises the question: will Sanju Samson return to the playing XI? The answer will only be known after the toss.
For the fourth T20, all-rounder Suryansh Shedge might get a chance to replace mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, which would further strengthen the batting lineup. Apart from this, there is little likelihood of other changes unless a player suffers a last-minute injury.
If Suryansh Shedge replaces Varun Chakravarthy, he and Shivam Dube would have to share the responsibility of bowling four overs. However, it is also possible that spin all-rounder Washington Sundar could be included in the playing XI instead of Varun; Sundar is a capable batsman in addition to being a spin bowler, which could benefit the team.
India's probable playing XI for the fourth T20:
Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi/Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Suryansh Shedge/Washington Sundar/Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana, Prince Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh.
