The second match of the 5-match T20 series is being played between India and England at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In this match, Indian team captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and did not delay at all in taking the decision of bowling. Team India has also made two major changes in its playing 11 for this match, in which Washington Sundar and Dhruv Jurel have been included in place of Nitish Reddy and Rinku Singh. Two changes have also been seen in the England team.
Rinku and Nitish were out due to injury.
In the first T20 match played in Kolkata, both Rinku Singh and Nitish Reddy were part of the playing 11, but before the second T20 match, both these players got injured, in which Nitish Reddy was suffering from side strain, where he could not complete the match. While he has been ruled out of the series, Rinku Singh complained of back spasm and will not be able to play in 2 matches. In such a situation, both players Washington Sundar and Dhruv Jurel have been included in the playing 11 of this match. Dhruv Jurel played his last T20 International match in the month of July 2024, after which he made his comeback. Talking about the playing 11 of the England team, Jamie Smith and Braydon Carse have been included in the team in place of Gus Attinson and Jacob Bethel.
