Virat Kohli continues to remain unbeaten as captain. After securing the Test series 4-0, his tenure as full-time captain of the Indian team got off to a rousing start with a 2-1 win in the ODIs against England. Heading into the Twenty20 series, Kohli will be aiming for a hat-trick.

The squad will have some fresh faces, but the one that will garner most attention will be Rishabh Pant. The 19-year-old youngster starred in the 2016/17 Ranji Trophy and impressed in the warm-up game against England in Brabourne.

Focus will also be on veteran warhorse and death bowler specialist Ashish Nehra. And Suresh Raina, who last played a T20 for India in World T20 in March 2016, will hope to impress in front of his home fans.

England will back themselves once again to push the young home team trying a few things before the ICC Champions Trophy in June in UK.

England skipper Eoin Morgan has said these matches have relevance as they try to build-up for the Champions Trophy. The team will also welcome back Joe Root as he missed the Kolkata ODI due to injury.

Kanpur will be hosting its first T20I, having started off the 2016/17 season with India’s 500th Test match.
