India will look to keep the five-match T20I series alive when they meet England in the fourth match at County Ground in Bristol on Thursday. After back-to-back defeats, the Shreyas Iyer-led side is under pressure, with England currently 2-0 up in the series.
The visitors have struggled to find consistency with both bat and ball and another defeat would see the series go to England. So all eyes will be on India's team selection and experienced wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson could be in line for a return to the playing XI.
Samson was dropped for the second and third T20Is for the 15-year-old batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The teenager has shown glimpses of promise but hasn't produced a match-winning performance yet. Prior to the must-win clash, head coach Gautam Gambhir indicated that the management has not ruled out bringing Samson back into the side.
India's performance has also raised questions about the tactical decisions made by the team. Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar’s picks and decisions have been viewed by fans as poor from the start; the team has only won a single match under new captain Shreyas Iyer, who has taken over international cricket for a third time but now has to lead the side.
England, by contrast, have managed to remain confident throughout the series. With Harry Brook in charge of the hosts they have seized opportunities very well at crucial moments and will be hoping to win the series and they will be desperate to end it with a victory in Bristol.
