4th T20I: England's Pace A Big Challenge For India

England's pace bowling and opener K.L. Rahul's position in the playing XI, especially at the top of the order, will be the questions India will have to answer if they are to survive in the T20

The right-handed batsman has racked up scores of 1, 0, and 0 in the three T20Is and it looks likely that Kishan, who opened in the second T20I will go back to the opening in the fourth match.

Both captain Kohli and batting coach Vikram Rathour have, however, backed Rahul to perform.

Rahul did well in the T20Is in New Zealand

Post Covid-19, the batsman returned as the Orange Cap winner in the Indian Premier League, getting 670 runs for the 2020 season and earning the vice-captaincy slot for the limited-overs series in Australia in the absence of injured Rohit Sharma.

India will also be worried about their spin attack. Their main spinner Yuzvendra Chahal seems to have been marked out. The England batsmen, Jos Buttler in particular, didn't allow him to settle in Tuesday's match.
