India Vs England: Here is the probable India XI for 2nd T20I in Nagpur

After suffering a humiliating defeat against a clinical England side in the first Twenty20 international encounter in Kanpur, Virat Kohli-led Team India would be desperate to make a comeback and win the second T20I at Nagpur on Sunday (Jan 29).

India were badly bruised and battered by England after hosts were beaten by 7 wickets in the first T20I with 11 balls to spare.

England completly outclassed the Indians in every department of the game at Green Park to take a significant 1-0 lead in the three-match series. (India lose T20I opener) England kept things tight for India from the start and never allowed the game slip away from their hands. First restricting hosts to a paltry 147 in 20 overs, the visitors then took on the offensive against Indian bowlers while chasing. The disappointing loss in Kanpur, would perhaps force Indian skipper Kohli and team management to make some alterations in the Playing XI in Nagpur. Though Kohli wouldn't make major changes but a couple of changes are certainly warranted to more edge to the Indian side against a dominant Eoin Morgan & Co. whose confidence will be on a high after must win in the first game.

Here is what India's Playing XI might look like against England in Nagpur:

1. KL Rahul

2. Virat Kohli

3. Suresh Raina

4. Yuvraj Singh

5. MS Dhoni

6. Rishabh Pant

7. Hardik Pandya

8. Amit Mishra

9. Yuzvendra Chahal

10. Jasprit Bumrah

11. Ashish Nehra
