India is now the top team in the ICC rankings after having a fantastic recent run in the T20 internationals. Although the visitors fell 2-3 in their most recent series against the West Indies in 2023, they consistently impressed with their dominant performances after that. Interestingly, they also won the T20 World Cup in 2024 while Rohit Sharma was captain. Since then, ace batsman Suryakumar Yadav has taken over as captain.
The Indian squad will want to maintain their team domination when they meet England in a five-match Twenty20 International series. The Indian squad has maintained its dominance even after Indian legends Virat Kohli and Rohit retired. Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer and broadcaster for India, has also expressed his opinions about
The Indian team’s success in the format and praised their newfound bravery in the game when Suryakumar Yadav, better known as SKY, took over.
“The sky is the limit. It’s literally that. In addition, he serves as captain, and the team has been playing quite aggressively under his leadership. You see, occasionally you fall too when you think too far ahead and soar too high. Therefore, it’s possible that we’ll only reach 125 runs one day when discussing targets close to 300. Although that is a possibility as well, the way this team plays makes it seem as though the decision has already been made: we will not back down. We’ll see what transpires after that,” Chopra said of Yadav during an appearance on Star Sports’ Game Plan program.
The Men in Blue defeated South Africa by a landslide 3-1 in their most recent Twenty20 series. With 280 runs, including a few hundreds at an average of 140, Tilak Varma was the series’ standout performer. When the southpaw takes against The Three Lions in the next series, the squad will be hoping for similar performances from him.
