India vs England, 4th T20I Probable Playing XI: Suryakumar Yadav In Place Of KL Rahul?

Suryakumar Yadav might replace KL Rahul in India vs England 4th T20I. Check out the probable playing XI of the match.

England defeated India by 8 wickets in the 3rd T20I and lead the five-match series 2-1. The 4th T20I will be once again played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 18th March. 

The Indian top-order failed to get going despite Rohit Sharma back in the opening slot. KL Rahul's three consecutive failures have opened up the questions of his inclusion in the next match. He could make way for Suryakumar Yadav, who got dropped to accommodate Rohit in the playing XI in 3rd game.

However, there is a case of Yadav replacing Shreyas Iyer in the next match, who hasn't made much impact in middle - barring 1st T20I - and has a clear difficulty in facing fast short pitch deliveries.  

Hardik Pandya hasn't connected the ball well in this series but his all-round skills will be important for India.  

Yuzvendra Chahal has been expensive in this series. There is a very minute chance of him getting replaced by either Rahul Tewatia or Rahul Chahar. Shardul Thakur is likely to be rested and Navdeep Saini could replace him. 

 

England batsmen remained dominant throughout the run-chase. Jos Buttler played a match-winning knock of 83 and showed why he is known as 'Jos the Boss'. The visitors won't be changing anything from their winning batting combination. 

Mark Wood returned to the playing XI in 3rd T20I and blasted the Indian top-order. The extra bounce and pace he is generating have been difficult to play for the batsmen. It is unlikely that England will change their bowling unless they decide to bring in Moeen Ali. 

England has dominated India twice this series and needs just one win to seal the five-match series. The fourth game is likely to get a tight finish as both teams would be desperately playing for the win.
