🏏 ENG vs IND | 2nd T20I | 4 July 2026 | Ind Tour of Eng 2026🏏 - Page 6

Teams:

India (Playing XI): Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Harshit Rana, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Jos Buttler(w), Harry Brook(c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue

India's jersey should have been fully blue with a few saffron lines on the shoulders instead of patches under the hands. Just a thought.

It's the most anticipated debut of the century as 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has his pads and helmet on. He's sitting quietly in the dugout with just minutes to go for the first ball. He started with a first-ball six in the IPL, was the leading run-scorer of the tournament this season with 776 runs at a staggering strike rate of over 237. Now here is the moment that we've all been waiting for. Vaibhav is on his feet and he jogs out to the middle under overcast skies.

England also have a debutant in the form of Josh Tongue who was given his maiden T20I cap by Jofra Archer earlier.

Vaibhav would have played Archer n RR nets

Abhishek looks cuter in England s climate.

Sooryavanshi to face his first ball in international cricket.

Wide and 4

Josh Tongue to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 1 run, first runs for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi! Yorker outside off

1.3

Josh Tongue to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 5 wides, steps across the stumps, sinks on the back knee for a full-blooded pull, but it's down the leg-side and he misses. It goes on the second bounce to Buttler who fails to cut it off

1.2

Vaibhav first boundary comes from Archer bowling
