India and England teams will play the fourth match of the 5-match T20 series at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune today. Both the teams have clashed on this ground before, in which the Men in Blue won. England lost 3 out of 5 of its recently conducted matches, and India lost one out of 5 of its recently conducted matches. By winning both of its first two matches in this series, India stands 2-1 in its favor and wishes to win the series in Pune. In contrast, the England team, having won its recently conducted match, wishes not to fall into the trap of Indian bowlers, specifically its spinners.

Although England won the match in the last match, Varun Chakravarthy won the title of Player of the Match. All eyes will then fall on him in the fourth match as well. Specifically, the eyes of the England batsmen, who are getting bowled out at an interval of 8th balls in this series. In 3 matches of this series, Varun took 10 wickets and bowled 12 overs. That is a wicket in an interval of 8th balls. He is allowing runs at an economy of about 7 and taking a wicket at an interval of 9 runs. In such a situation, the English will try to deal with his spin. If Team India has to win, then Varun will have to spread the magic of his spin in Pune as well.

Varun Chakravarthy has taken the most 10 wickets in this series, while Axar Patel is in second place, who has taken 5 wickets. Brydon Carse, Hardik Pandya, and Jofra Archer have also taken 5-5 wickets in this series. However, other spinners of Team India have not been so impressive. Washington Sundar has taken only one wicket in 2 matches, while Ravi Bishnoi has also got only one success in 3 matches.

England for IND vs ENG T20 series: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler (captain), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell and Rehan Ahmed.
