Key Players for India vs England T20I series 2021
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is one of the key batsman for the hosts
Rohit Sharma is one of the most destructive batsman in limited overs format and can bat the opposition out from the game, if he is out there in the middle for long. The right-hander has amassed 2773 runs in T20I cricket which includes four hundreds and an impressive average of just over 32.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli will be itching to have a good outing in the India vs England T20I series
Virat Kohli had a disappointing Test series and will look forward to compensate in the T20I series. Kohli has been way off his best form in the recent years. However, the Indian skipper has an incredible record in T20Is. He has scored 2928 runs at an astonishing average of just over 50 in his 79 innings so far.
Eoin Morgan
Eoin Morgan will lead the visitors in the India vs England T20I series
The English skipper is one of the most reliable middle order batsman around. The left-hander has the ability to end the innings with a flurry of runs and at the same time, he can provide well-composed knocks from the number four spot. Morgan has a good record against India in T20Is as he has scored 314 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of over 146.
Jofra Archer
Jofra Archer will be one of the bowlers to watch out for in the India vs England T20I Series
Jofra Archer was the standout performer for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2020. The English pacer was a force to reckon with the new ball and was unplayable in the slog overs. Archer has played just seven T20Is so far, picking up as many wickets at an average of 30 and an economy of eight. Archer will be looking forward to improve on those stats against India.
