IND vs ENG: The fifth and last match of the ongoing five-match T20 series between India and England will be played in Southampton on July 11. The Indian team has already lost this series. In such a situation, Shreyas Iyer’s team will try its best to win this last match. To avoid continuous defeats, captain Shreyas Iyer can make major changes in the playing 11. In such a situation, it is believed that Sanju Samson may return to the playing 11.

Sanju Samson may return to playing 11

In the fifth and last T20 match against England, both Team India’s victory and its dominance in T20 cricket is at stake. In such a situation, the team management may be seen taking big decisions before the upcoming match and Sanju Samson’s return to the playing 11 is considered almost certain. In place of Sanju, 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi was given a chance in the playing 11. But Vaibhav also did not live up to the expectations.

Which player will be left out of the playing 11?

If Sanju Samson is included in the playing 11 again, then any one player among Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ishan Kishan and Tilak Verma can be kept on the bench. The recent performance of these three players has been very disappointing. In such a situation, the management can get Sanju back by removing one of them. It will be interesting to see who Sanju will replace in the playing 11.

This player may also get a chance

Apart from Indian wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson, all-rounder Suryansh Sedge may also get a chance in the playing 11 of the fifth and last T20 match. It is believed that Suryash can be included in the playing eleven in place of Shivam Dubey in the Southampton T20 match.
