Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has picked his Indian XI for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The penultimate game of the five-match T20I series between the teams will be taking place on Friday (31st January) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.

Aakash Chopra has suggested two massive changes for India for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The cricketer-turned-commentator wants Arshdeep Singh to be back for the team in the place of Washington Sundar and also wants Shivam Dube to replace Dhruv Jurel in the team.

Arshdeep Singh was rested from the last IND vs ENG T20I, while Dhurv Jurel played after Rinku Singh was ruled out of the 2nd and 3rd T20I due to a back injury. With the series on the line, India would be keen to win and take an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series.

Aakash Chopra wants India to continue with the same opening combination of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. The left-hander has been having a decent time with the bat while the keeper-batter has struggled to get going in the IND vs ENG series, bagging low scores in three games.

At No.3, Chopra picked Tilak Varma, who played a match-winning knock for India in the third T20. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav will be batting at No.4 as per Chopra. The captain needs some runs under his belt as he has failed to get going. He would be keen to score runs for his team as well.

Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube are the two all-rounders picked by Aakash Chopra in his Indian XI for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The cricketer-turned-commentator wants three spinners in the team in Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakravarthy, who has been India's best bowler in the series.

For the pace department, Aakash Chopra wants both Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh to play. In the last three T20Is, India has played with one frontline pacer and they would want to change that in the upcoming match.
