Watch KL Rahul?s house decorated with lights amid rumours of his marriage with Athiya Shetty: Team India's star batter KL Rahul's house has been decked with beautiful lighting and flowers as the cricketer is rumoured to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend Athiya Shetty, later this month. The two have been in a relationship for a very long time and are often seen together in pictures and videos.

As per several reports from the media outlets, the cricketer-actor couple is likely to exchange vows on 23rd January in Sunil Shetty's farmhouse in Khandala. However, the details couldn't be verified as the respective families are tight-lipped.



<h2>KL Rahul to miss New Zealand Series</h2>

On January 21, the second game of the ongoing ODI series between India and New Zealand will be played. The two teams will square off in this match at Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium. However, Rohit Sharma will be in charge of leading India in this game, and Tom Latham will be in charge of leading New Zealand. So let's find out how Raipur's pitch is doing.



It was evident from the recent T20 matches played at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium that the surface benefited the batsmen. The ball comes on the bat well on this surface, making it simple for the batsmen to score runs right away. Let us point out that this surface is consistent throughout the entire game, making it easy for the batters to locate the ball. The hitters benefit greatly from the quick outfield.



Because of the unpredictable nature of the ground at Raipur Stadium, fast bowlers will need to use their variety to prevent huge scores by the batsmen. But as the ball gets old, the spinners will start receiving a lot of support from this area. Overs of spin may end up being the determining factor in Raipur in such a case. Any side winning the toss would likely choose to bowl at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium since it gets easier to bat there as the game goes on.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Shaheed-Veer-Narayan-Singh-International-Cricket-Stadium-1024x732.jpg" alt="Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket?Stadium" class="wp-image-101292" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket?Stadium</figcaption></figure>



There hasn't been an international game of any kind played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium yet. However, this location has hosted several domestic T20I matches. The stadium has also hosted a total of 6 IPL matches. These games were won by the pursuing teams in four and the defending team in two.



<h2>IND vs NZ Records</h2>



India and New Zealand's cricket teams have now played 114 one-day international matches against one another. During?this time, Team India has won 56 matches against NZ, while the New Zealand team has won 50 ODIs against India. One match finished in a tie, but seven matches concluded with a no-result.

IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Rohit Sharma-led India will face Tom Latham-marshalled New Zealand in the 2nd One Day International (ODI) at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on January 21 (Saturday). The IND vs NZ contest will begin at 1:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). Down below is everything you need to know about India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI.



Riding on the back of Shubman Gill's double century, the Men in Blue got off to a winning start against New Zealand by the barest of margins in Hyderabad. India produced a competitive total of 349 runs in 50 overs, all thanks to Shubman Gill, who kept scoring consistently and scored his maiden ODI double ton.



Defending 349 runs, India were always on top of the game and were easily dominating the opposition. None of New Zealand's top five batters could score more than 40 runs and it, seemed, at one point that it was going to be an effortless win for the hosts. However, Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner had other plans as they began their assault against the Indian bowlers.



While Mitchell Santner scored 57 runs from 45 deliveries, Michael Bracewell wreaked havoc and took the Kiwis nearly over the rope as he tormented the Indian bowling lineup for fun. Bracewell, despite falling short of a partner at the other end, scored 140 runs from just 78 deliveries and kept New Zealand's hopes alive.



However, in the end, it was just not meant to be his game. In the final over, Shardul Thakur got him lbw and India won the game by 12 runs. With the <a href="https://www.bcci.tv/events/98/new-zealand-tour-of-india-odi-series-2022-23/match/732/1st-odi">win</a>, India took a 1-0 lead in the three-game ODI series.



Despite losing the first game, New Zealand had several positives from it. The visitors would try to capitalise on the positives and come out better prepared in the next game. On the other side, India would look to continue their winning momentum and gain an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the second game itself.

IND vs NZ, 2nd ODI, Shardul Thakur: On January 21, the second game of the three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will take place in Raipur.

<h2>Umran Malik is sure to play</h2>



It is thought that Umran Malik's return for the Raipur ODI match is fixed. Shardul Thakur might also be forced to sit out now that Umran Malik is back in the Indian starting XI. Umran Malik did not play for the team against New Zealand in game one of the series. Shardul Thakur participated in the starting XI. In the first ODI, Shardul Thakur claimed 2 wickets. Palghar Express grabbed 2 wickets for 54 runs in 7.2 overs during this game, however, the quick bowler might not be available for the Raipur ODI.

ICC Men's Team ODI Ranking 2023: Tom Latham-led New Zealand slipped out of their number 1 position in the ICC Men's Team ODI ranking after suffering a resounding defeat against India in the 2nd ODI in Raipur. Following the embarrassing defeat, New Zealand dropped to second place in the ODI rankings while England plunged to number 1 of the ranking.



Ahead of the start of India vs New Zealand ODI series, the Kiwis were placed comfortably atop the ODI ranking chart with 115 rating points followed by England and Australia at number two and three with 113 and 112 rating points respectively. Team India was seated in the fourth position with 111 points.



However, the ranking chart saw a significant movement after India won two of the opening games against New Zealand in the ongoing three-match ODI series. The Men in Blue gained two points and jumped to third place replacing Australia. Meanwhile, New Zealand was demoted to second place after losing two points.

<h2>India defeat New Zealand by 8 wickets in 2nd ODI:</h2>



The hosts ruthlessly dominated the Kiwis during the second ODI match at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. The sublime bowling effort from the Indians, followed by top-class batting from the Indian openers locked the game for India. With the win, India also sealed the three-match ODI series, 2-0.



The Black Caps couldn't counter the probing spells of the Indian new ball bowlers. Veteran pacer Mohammad Shami fetched the first breakthrough in the form of Finn Allen. Along with Shami, Mohammad Siraj also arrived at the party with his scrutinizing lengths and he dismissed Henry Nicholls. 



Soon, Daryl Mitchell, Devon Conway and Tom Latham also walked back to the pavilion at cheap scores. The Kiwis were half down for a measly total of 15 runs in 10 overs.



The hero of the previous game, Michael Bracewell (22 runs) tried to break the shackles along with Glenn Phillips (36 runs) and Mitchell Santner (27 runs), but the Indian bowlers were too good on the day to be beaten. 



The Indian bowlers dismantled the entire New Zealand team at a score of 108, their third-lowest ODI total against India. Mohammad Shami became the chief architect of the destruction as he scalped three wickets. Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar got two apiece in their bags. While Mohammad Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav and Shardul Thakur got solitary wickets each.



In pursuit of a scanty total, the Indian openers against stitched up a beautiful opening stand. Skipper Rohit Sharma played the aggressor's role and completed his half-century in 47 deliveries. However, he was caught lbw soon after his fifty and the skipper departed. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill held his end and scored unbeaten 40 runs in 53 deliveries.



India fetched the 108-run total in 20.1 overs in the loss of two wickets and put the stamp of authority over New Zealand. Shami was adjudged the Player of the Match for his critical bowling.

New Zealand lose number 1 spot in ODI ranking after a defeat against India in Raipur | ICC Men's Team ODI Ranking 2023

The India VS New Zealand 3rd ODI will be played on Tuesday. This game will have a lot in store as New Zealand will be seeking revenge for the defeat that they got at the hands of the Indian cricket team in Raipur.



It was very shameful for the number-one ODI side to be played out in all the departments. New Zealand is expected to come back with all guns blazing. Here is a quick look at the top predictions and the expected playing XIs for the 3rd ODI:&nbsp;



<h2>Indian Team Preview Before India VS New Zealand 3rd ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



The Indian Cricket team is riding high on confidence. And this confidence is not due to the batters. It is due to the bowlers. Mohammed Siraj has been exceptional. In the 20-odd games that he has played in the last year in the white-ball format, he has picked 33 wickets in the powerplay. He can make magic with the leather in his hand and he will be crucial in the India VS New Zealand 3rd ODI.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Rohit-Sharma-min-2.jpg" alt="India VS New Zealand" class="wp-image-101455"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit will be keen to get a few runs under his belt. IMG SRC: BCCI.</figcaption></figure>



Mohammed Shami also joined the party in Raipur. The wicket had limited help but the Indian bowlers made effective use of it. The Indian batting line-up is looking solid. It would be great to see Rohit Sharma get a big score under his belt in the India VS New Zealand 3rd ODI. Also, if Suryakumar Yadav could get some time out in the middle.&nbsp;



<h2>Indian Cricket Team:&nbsp;</h2>



Rohit Sharma (c),&nbsp;Shubman Gill,&nbsp;Virat Kohli,&nbsp;Ishan Kishan (wk),&nbsp;Suryakumar Yadav,&nbsp;Hardik Pandya,&nbsp;Washington Sundar,&nbsp;Shardul Thakur,&nbsp;Kuldeep Yadav,&nbsp;Mohammed Shami,&nbsp;Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal,&nbsp;Srikar Bharat,&nbsp;Rajat Patidar,&nbsp;Shahbaz Ahmed,&nbsp;Umran Malik&nbsp;



Expected Playing XI: &nbsp;

IMG SRC: ICCCricketSchedule.com</figcaption></figure>



The New Zealand cricket team will be looking for vengeance. With that being said, their batters are the ones who need to contribute. In the 1st ODI too, the innings of Michael Bracewell, helped the Blackcaps put up a fight. But before that, it was the batting collapse that cause the grim situation. Finn Allen is unable to express himself.



They at times look short of a good pacer too. The sharpness of Trent Boult is missing. But Lockie Ferguson can do the job for them, he has the ability. Getting in Mark Chapman for one of the openers or in place of Henry Nicholls can also be an option for the India VS New Zealand 3rd ODI.



<h2>New Zealand Team:&nbsp;</h2>



Finn Allen,&nbsp;Devon Conway,&nbsp;Henry Nicholls,&nbsp;Daryl Mitchell,&nbsp;Tom Latham (c &amp; wk),&nbsp;Glenn Phillips,&nbsp;Michael Bracewell,&nbsp;Mitchell Santner,&nbsp;Henry Shipley,&nbsp;Lockie Ferguson,&nbsp;Blair Tickner,&nbsp;Mark Chapman,&nbsp;Doug Bracewell,&nbsp;Jacob Duffy,&nbsp;Ish Sodhi&nbsp;



Expected Playing Xi:&nbsp;



Finn Allen,&nbsp;Devon Conway,&nbsp;Henry Nicholls,&nbsp;Daryl Mitchell,&nbsp;Tom Latham (c &amp; wk),&nbsp;Glenn Phillips,&nbsp;Michael Bracewell,&nbsp;Mitchell Santner,&nbsp;Henry Shipley,&nbsp;Lockie Ferguson,&nbsp;Blair Tickner.&nbsp;



<h2>Fantasy Prediction for the India VS New Zealand 3rd ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



The team will be as follows:&nbsp;



Devon Conway(WK), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Daryl Mitchell/Tom Latham, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (C), Michael Bracewell (VC), Kuldeep Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj. &nbsp;



Tom Latham and Virat Kohli are expected to have a good game with the bat. And Ferguson and Siraj are expected to have a good game with the ball. &nbsp;



<h2>The Venue, Timings, and Broadcasting:&nbsp;</h2>



The venue for the India VS New Zealand 3rd ODI is the Holkar Stadium in Indore. This is the very stadium on which Rohit Sharma got his fastest T20 hundred in a meager 35 balls. The game is expected to be a run-fest with the pitch having limited help for the bowlers. The swing will be on offer under the lights. And a lot of dew is expected. The game will begin at 1:30 pm. The official broadcaster for the games is Star TV Network. The games can also be live-streamed on Hotstar. &nbsp;

India VS New Zealand 3rd ODI: Best Preview, Dream 11&nbsp;Predictions, Squads, Playing XI, Venue, Timings. All You Need to Know.&nbsp;

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: With the scoreline of 2-1, India and England are now going to play the fourth T20I of the series at the MCA Stadium, Pune. There is a lot at stake for England, but India has some breathing space. 
England have lost all three tosses so far and still managed to secure a win while batting first on a batting paradise. Meanwhile, India, who were used to winning series with a clean sweep, have lost one match in the series but can still wrap up the series in their favor today in Pune.
Let's take a look at the squads and strongest Playing11 possible for India and England in the 4th T20I:
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Squads</h2>
England Squad: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed
India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana
<hr>
<h2>Playing11 and Strategies</h2>
INDIA: Rinku Singh has returned to contention after recovering from his injury. On Thursday, India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, confirmed that he is fully fit. His extended net session further hinted at his potential inclusion in the playing XI for the upcoming match.  
When it comes to strategy, India relied heavily on spin in the previous game, fielding five spinners—Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Abhishek Sharma—alongside just two pacers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt="">
However, the pitch in Pune is unlikely to offer much assistance to spinners. With Rinku Singh, a reliable left-handed batter, back in the mix, India could consider making a tactical adjustment by replacing Washington Sundar with an additional pacer, Arshdeep Singh, to strengthen their pace attack.
*India Playing11: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy
ENGLAND: England might go with the same playing11 as in the 3rd T20I. There isn't any solid reason for them to make any changes only if there is a forced one. Jamie Smith(if not available) might get replaced by Jacob Bathell if needed.
*England Playing11: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
<hr>
<h2>Pitch Report of Pune's MCA Stadium</h2>
The MCA Stadium in Pune is known for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a prime venue for high-scoring encounters. With short square boundaries and a true surface, batters often enjoy their time in the middle, and big totals are a common sight. If the scores don’t breach the 200-run mark, as was frequently seen in the last IPL, it would likely be due to disciplined bowling rather than any assistance from the pitch.
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679c4dfe0bbbc.jpg" alt="">
Unlike some other venues in India, dew is not a significant factor here, ensuring that both innings are played under fairly consistent conditions. Additionally, the pitch tends to remain firm throughout the game, offering good bounce for stroke play and providing some assistance to pacers who hit the deck hard. With these factors in play, the MCA Stadium is set to witness a thrilling contest filled with raining boundaries and aggressive stroke-making.
<hr>
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Dream11 Team and Fantasy Tips</h2>
Pune's MCA Stadium is a batting paradise, and unless we witness any sort of collapse, it will be a high-scoring game. Anything under 170 would be below-par. We will make our team based on this, and not to mention, there will be a risk factor. 
For Wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler is going to be the first choice for everyone and he is a must-pick player. Sanju Samson is our second pick as he is not much picked, and he is due for a good performance. There couldn't be a better ground other than MCA Stadium for him to get his form back. He is even a choice for captain if you can take extra risks. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b286b99.jpg" alt="">
Tilak Verma is in great form and Ben Duckett is a good player of spin. With not much grip off the surface, these two batters are expected to fire to a good extent. SKY is under the radar and this Pune surface suits him so he is going to be in the team considering of what he can do when is in form. Tilak Verma or Ben Duckett can be another option for the captain and probably the safer option.
There are a lot of options in this section for both teams. Hardik Pandya and Liam Livingstone are two must-pick players and besides them, Overton might prove to be a good option. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67990b84a34e9.jpg" alt="">
Arshdeep Singh, if plays the match, must be in the dream11 team. Replace him with Mohammed Shami if Arshdeep doesn't play. Varun Chakravarthy and Mark Wood would be the two other bowlers. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b59f608.jpg" alt="">
This makes a strong team, more focused on the batting side as the pitch will favor the batters more. The bowling options are those who are most likely going to take wickets on such a surface. 
<h2>Dream11 Team- Grand League</h2>
Wicket-Keeper: Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C1) Batters: Surya Kumar Yadav, Den Duckett, Tilak Verma(C2) Allrounders: Hardik Pandya (VC), Liam Livingstone, J Overton Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, V Chakravarthy, Mark Wood

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
