India vs England: Combined best XI of the T20I series
Who leads the XI?
11. Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur had a bit of a mixed series, but his overall performance should be enough to ensure he keeps his place in the T20I squad. He played in each of the five games due to the absence of the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and T Natarajan.
He picked up eight wickets at a strike rate of 13 and was the highest wicket-taker, but his economy rate wasn’t quite great as he conceded at 9.69. His tally of 31 wickets in 22 T20Is is pretty good but once again his economy rate is a bit of a problem as he concedes at 9.11.
He picked up 2/29 in the second game and helped India win their first game of the series and his 3/42 in the fourth match was very important as they managed to win the game to tie the series. At a time when it looked like the 4th game was slipping away from the team, he dismissed Ben Stokes and Eoin Morgan off consecutive deliveries. Thakur chipped in with a vital 3/45 in the decider as well.
