After thrashing India in the very first match of the Paytm T20 series at Kanpur, England have won the toss and elected to bowl first in the 2nd T20 International at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur.

For the second game, skipper Virat Kohli has made a change in the team. Spinner Amit Mishra has replaced Parvez Rasool while England has included Liam Dawson in place of Liam Plunkett.

After tasting an unfortunate defeat in the first T20 international against England on January 26 at Kanpur, team India will be pulling its socks up at Nagpur. Moreover, skipper Kohli would definitely not like to face the blot of ‘series-defeat’ against the English opponents in the first ever T20 series under his leadership.

Earlier on January 26, the ball fell to the English court as Eoin Morgan and company thrashed India by 7 wickets in the first of the three-match Twenty20 International. The entire Indian batting line-up went on knees before the English bowling attack, especially the duo of Tymal Mills and Chris Jordan who conceded less than seven runs in an over.

Now, today in Nagpur, it is expected that the Indian spin attack will again continue with the Chahal-Rasool pair but skipper Kohli may install off-spinner Amit Mishra after replacing either of the two, played in the last game. On the other hand, Veteran bowler Ashish Nehra gave almost more than 10 an over in the Kanpur game and it remains to be seen if India will continue to bank on his experience or bring in Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who performed well in the ODIs.

Squads:

India (Playing XI): Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni(w), Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Amit Mishra, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ashish Nehra
