Tue Jan 28 12:50:00 UTC 2025: ## India Aims for Series Win Against England in Rajkot T20
**RAJKOT, INDIA** – India’s young cricket team is poised to clinch a series victory against England in the third T20 match in Rajkot on Tuesday. Currently leading the five-match series 2-0, India is confident of continuing their dominant performance across batting, bowling, and fielding.
While the team’s overall performance has been impressive, captain Suryakumar Yadav’s individual form remains a concern. He has averaged just 26.81 runs in his last 17 innings, a career low. The team hopes he will rediscover his form in Rajkot, a venue where India has a strong record. Other key players like Sanju Samson, who has struggled against short balls in the previous matches, and promising young batsmen Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma, will be key to India’s success. Potential changes to the team include the inclusion of Shivam Dube and Ramandeep Singh due to injuries to Rinku Singh and Nitish Rana.
England, on the other hand, is desperate for a win after losing the first two matches. Their batting lineup, excluding captain Jos Buttler, has underperformed significantly, with players like Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, and Liam Livingstone failing to deliver. Their formidable bowling attack, featuring Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, and Adil Rashid, has also been unable to contain the Indian batsmen. A loss in Rajkot would effectively end England’s hopes for the series.
Rajkot holds positive memories for India, who have won four out of five T20Is played at the venue, including two victories by margins exceeding 80 runs. The match promises to be an exciting encounter as both teams look to establish their dominance.
