India Vs England: Team India had to make two major changes in the playing eleven in Bristol T20. Both Harshit Rana and Varun Chakraborty were out of the team.

Talking about the toss, Shreyas Iyer again won the toss and this time he decided to bat first.
India’s playing eleven
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Verma, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dubey, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh and Prince Yadav.
England’s playing eleven
Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, Jacob Bethel, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacques, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Josh Tong.
How is the Bristol pitch?
The pitch of Bristol is considered excellent for batting. According to the pitch report, there will be help for the batsmen in the India-England match but there is also bounce in the wicket and bouncers can become a problem for the batsmen. The front boundaries of Bristol’s ground are small. Therefore short ball will be an important weapon here. In the third T20, Jofra Archer and Josh Tong had shown the way to the pavilion to the Indian batsmen on short balls only.

Shreyas Iyer won 6 consecutive tosses
Team India has not won the match under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer but this player has definitely won the game of coins. After becoming the captain of Team India, he has won 6 consecutive toss. He has become the first Indian captain to win the toss in the first 6 matches of his captaincy. However, Shreyas Iyer would now like to win the match also. Because if Team India loses the match in Bristol T20, then it will also lose the T20 series. The big thing is that Team India had also lost the T20 series against Ireland.
