The first match of the five-match T20 International series between India and England will be played at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad today. There is a lot of talk about Team India playing XI in this game. Rohit Sharma and K.L. A day before the match, skipper Virat Kohli made it clear that Rahul was the first choice to start the innings, while Shikhar Dhawan was the third opener. Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer has a different opinion. The day before the match, Jaffer picked Team India’s XI, which included Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and KL. Rahul has been selected, but Rahul has not been selected to start the innings. In addition, Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer are not ranked in Jaffer’s Playing Eleven.
Angry at the journalist’s question, Virat said – there must be some logic

Washington Sunder has bowled financially and influenced his batting. Suryakumar Yadav and Ishaan Kishan have been named in the T20 squad for the first time, but according to Wasim Jaffer, the two may have to wait for their debut. In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvi will be seen as the head of the fast bowling department.
