 "India vs England 1st T20 playing 11, live match time (IST), streaming")
After the disappointing red-ball assignment in Australia, the Men in Blue are set to mark their return to the white-ball format, as Suryakumar Yadav-led India take on Jos Buttler-led England in the first T20 of the five-match series at Kolkata’s iconic Eden Gardens on Wednesday, January 22. While India have struggled in both ODI and Test cricket in recent times, the story has been entirely different in T20s, as they won 24 of the 26 games they played in 2024, including the 2024 ICC World T20 final against South Africa.
India have transformed their team completely post the World Cup triumph. Their new batting line-up, which includes the likes of Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, skipper Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya, has been unleashing nightmares on opposition bowlers with its explosive batting style. However, the biggest take of the match was Md Shami's return which was extended even further as he was excluded from India'ss playing 11 for the first T20, as Indian sskipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl first in the match.
On the other hand, Jos Buttler-led England will also aim to get accustomed to subcontinent pitches during the India series before beginning their own Champions Trophy campaign. The English side even named their playing 11 a day prior to the game as Harry Brook who was Engald's captain in absence of Butler has been named team's vice captain for India's tour.
