Hyderabad: India, having secured the series 3-1, will aim to address their batting vows in the fifth and final T20 against England, who are seeking revenge after a controversial concussion substitute influenced the Pune T20I where they lost by the margin of just 15 runs. Men in Blue hope struggling skipper Suryakumar Yadav and opener Sanju Samson find their form, especially after England expressed frustration over Harshit Rana's impactful debut as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube, who suffered a head injury during the last over of India's innings when Jamie Overton's second last bowl hit the helmet.
Despite an impressive series from Indian spinners, with Varun Chakravarthy leading the way, concerns remain over Suryakumar and Samson's underwhelming performances. With only 35 runs in 4 matches, Samson has struggled against quick bowlers, especially on the short pitch deliveries early on in the innings while Suryakumar has not scored significantly since his last notable innings against Bangladesh.
Rinku Singh's recent performance has eased concerns about his form. India might also rest key bowler Arshdeep Singh and play Mohammed Shami, giving him another match before he joins the ODI side led by captain Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, England has faced challenges throughout the series, with Harry Brook showing promise but still struggling against spin.
