There is much curiosity around why was Sooryavanshi not picked for the opening T20I. The call for Sooryavanshi's national debut has grown since his dream run in the IPL where he amassed 776 runs in 16 innings.

In case he gets to make his debut later on in the series, he would become the youngest player to feature in a top-tier men's T20. Ireland's Joshua Little holds the record; he was 16 years and 309 days old on his debut in the format. For the unversed, the youngest-ever player in men's international cricket remains Hasan Raza, who was 14 years and 227 days old when he made his Test debut for Pakistan in 1996.

Ind vs Eng, 1st T20I

Abhishek Sharma’s brilliant 59 and captain Shreyas Iyer’s composed 68 helped India secure a slice of positivity despite their first T20I against England being abandoned because of heavy rain. Their half-centuries allowed India to post a competitive 189 for seven, a noticeable turnaround in their batting fortunes after producing two underwhelming performances. England’s chase of 190 remained a non-starter after the heavens opened up during the innings break.
