Suryakumar Yadav has won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second T20I against England. India suffered two injury blows, with Nitish Kumra Reddy getting ruled out of the remaining part of the series, while Rinku Singh will miss the second and third games. Washington Sundar and Dhruv Jurel have been added to the playing XI.

“It looks like a good track, but there was a dew last night. We hope to take advantage of it. It is hard, and we hope it remains the same. We were good in all the departments of the game.

Jos Buttler would have bowled first had he won the toss. “We have to bat better in the game. Every game is a new opportunity, and guys are looking forward to the game. We have to improve in all the areas and be a bit aggressive. The wickets looks good, and it is different from the traditional Chennai wicket. Jacob Bethell unwell, so a debut for Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse in for Gus Atkinson” he said.
