Following a one-sided series opener, India and England will lock horns in the 2nd T20I at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium on January 25 (Saturday). The hosts took a 1-0 lead in Kolkata by chasing down 133 inside 13 overs. Meanwhile, the Jos Buttler -led side eyes a strong comeback at Chepauk.

Brydon Carse will replace Gus Atkinson for England's second T20 International against India on Saturday while Jamie Smith has also been added to the squad. Atkinson bled 38 runs in his two wicketless overs in the series opener in Kolkata where India cruised to a seven-wicket victory with more than seven overs to spare.

India has won the toss and elected to bowl first in the series-opening T20 against England's cricketers in Kolkata.

England 's top-order batter, Harry Brook, has stressed on the need for his side to put constant pressure on the Indian bowling attack in the second T20I. The strategy comes after England's seven-wicket loss in Kolkata, which has put India ahead in the five-match series (1-0).

Jos Buttler's England could not put up a fight as they struggled against Indian spinners and could not capitalise in the middle overs.

The stage is set for an exciting clash as India take on England in the first T20I of their highly anticipated five-match series. The action begins on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata,
