India vs England: Top 5 Players To Watch Out For In Fourth T20I In Ahmedabad

Rishabh Pant has given a glimpse of his destructive prowess in T20 cricket in the first three matches playing some outrageous shots against the likes of Jofra Archer and co. but is yet to play that match-defining innings in the series. With India set to bat him at number 4 or 5, Pant will look to make the most of the opportunity and produce a match-winning performance in a big match for India. Pant has a strike rate of close to 150 in all T20 cricket.

3. Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya is one of the most destructive lower-order batsmen in limited overs cricket with a strike rate of 145 in T20Is for India. Pandya’s cameo helped India chase down a stiff target set by England in the series decider in Bristol in 2018. He was also in devastating form for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2020. Pandya has done a decent job with the ball but is yet to fire on all cylinders with the bat in the series. Expect a Pandya special on Thursday!

4. Dawid Malan

Dawid Malan has got a start in each of the three matches but has not been at his usual fluent best in the series. He has failed to convert the starts into a substantial performance and has also struggled with his scoring rate. But Malan is one of the most sought after batsmen in international T20 cricket with the highest rating points ever achieved by a batsman in the format. He would be looking for a big score in the crucial encounter and play a role similar to what Kohli does for India.

5. Mark Wood

Mark Wood returned to the XI with a bang in the third T20I making an immediate and huge impact on the match getting rid of both the Indian openers within the powerplay. He was restrictive and accurate which made it doubly difficult for the Indian batsmen to negotiate the speedster. Expect nothing less than more hostility from the England fast bowler.
