India captain Virat Kohli has won the toss and elected to bowl vs England in a first warm-up game of the T20 World Cup on Monday at ICC Cricket Ground in Dubai. Virat Kohli, on his last captaincy stint, will look to fine-tune the team’s combination when the inaugural champions will take on Eoin Morgan-led England side ahead of the start of Super 12 matches. Most of the Indian players were not part of the T20I setup when the national side had played against Sri Lanka earlier this year. England on the other side, who have three top-quality openers Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, and Jos Buttler will also look to finalise their best playing XI ahead of the main matches. England are coming in this tournament after a consecutive T20I series wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka earlier this year but Eoin Morgan’s side is without its top two T20I players- Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer in the mega tournament.

Another boundary from Buttler, straight down the ground. Poor length from Shami and the way Buttler played that shot it looked so easy against a top-class international bowler.

Virat Kohli Confirms He Will Not Open In T20 WC!
Indian skipper Virat Kohli has confirmed that he will not open in the T20 World Cup and bat at No. 3 in the marquee tournament.
“We will bowl first. We have had success in the past. So we want to create that same energy. The IPL is right up there, but this is paramount. Adaptability, how plays where is what matters. We are pretty solid in how we are going to start in the first game. We will look to give game-time to most of them. Things were different before IPL, now it’s difficult to look beyond KL Rahul. He’s been solid up front. I will be batting at 3. That’s the only thing I can say for now, said Virat Kohli at toss, as quoted by Cricbuzz.
