The moment for which Pandya brothers played cricket together will finally come true. Both the brothers will certainly play together for the first time in India jersey. Krunal has been part of the mix since the England T20 series and can prove to be a crucial factor with his all-round abilities on the field.

Hardik Pandya on the other hand showed some form in the 5th ODI against New Zealand and will be determined to do well in the T20 series as well.

Bowlers (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddharth Kaul and Yuzvendra Chahal)

India vs England: Bhuvneshwar Kumar unlikely for the England test seriesBhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the bowling attack in the absence of T20 specialist Jasprit Bumrah. Punjab pacer Siddharth Kaul has been impressive in couple of IPL season, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad and continued his form in domestic cricket and India A tours which has rightly given a shot in the T20 series.

Kuldeep Yadav has been a decisive factor for India in the shortest format of the game but he can sometimes leak runs which doesn’t go well with the team. Yuzvendra Chahal has managed to impress in the ODI series and in all likely terms he will be in the playing XI for the starting T20I.
