India vs England 1st T20 Live Streaming / India vs England 1st T20 Live Scorecard / Ind vs Eng 1st T20 Match Live : Back on the side to strengthen the bowling attack are spinners Ravitchandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who have combined their forces to decimate England 4-0 in the Test series which ended in December. They were both rested for the previous ODI series against New Zealand as India narrowly won 3-2. India will miss their limited star Rohit Sharma who is still out of action after undergoing surgery and reminded Yuvraj Singh, their hero of the 2011 World Cup triumph at home after four years.
Yuvraj will play for India after ten months, his last appearance being in the T20 world championship in which the team led by Dhoni lost the semifinals in the West Indies. The left-hander was recalled on the strength of a double hundred and a hundred in the Ranji Trophy in October. He played in the warm-up game and showed that he could still be a threat with his big hits.
However, he will be under pressure to play with players like Manish Pandey and Kedar Jadhav, both named in the ODI team, breathing his neck. MS Dhoni will play under Kohli for the first time as a single wicket-keeper drummer and it would be interesting to see how the new arrangement works for India. Dhoni always seemed cool as a captain while Kohli did not mind being vocal and showing emotions on the pitch.
