Nice 11 above ... Recall reading that Natrajan may not be fit :hmmm: ... However, if everyone is fit:

 

Top order: KL, Kishan and Kohli/Rohit (can be rotated) 

Middle Order (Flexible batting order): SKY, Pant, SDP and Tewatia (give him a shot) 

#8: Sundar  

#9-11: 2 pace bowlers + 1 spinner or 3 pace bowlers per conditions 

 

In the above, 

  • Batting till #8 (4 to 8 can handle pressure. Kishan is good in pressure situations too)
  • 4 right-handers & 4 left-handers in the top 8 
  • 2 spinners - Sundar (off) and Tweatia (leg spin) 
  • 3 specialist bowlers per conditions and form + SDP

I like your proposed XI, although Brat will not pick that team. Only diff is that I'd have thakur in place of nattu because I think latter is injured. and thakur saab's lower-order striking is quite ferocious.

Playing 11. (  keeping in mind that big names won't get dropped in reality  )

 

1. Rahul

2. Rohit

3. Kohli

4. Pant

5. SKY

6. Hardik

7. Axar

8. Shardul

9. Sundar

10. Bhuvi

11. Saini

 

.... Natarajan is injured and unlikely to play.

.... Batting till 9

.... Big hitters from 4 to 8

.... 6 bowling options.

Honestly England side looks weak. You guys are going to be in for a suprise. Morgan, buttler and stokes are the only real talented T20 players. Bowling is pretty mediocre.

Iyer needs to be kept 50 miles away from this t20 side

He has zero ability against decent bowling in average sized grounds

Mumbai quota has kept him alive in contention in wrong format,else he would have been dropped in wilderness long ago

SKY and Shaw can easily replace him and better him too. They also fulfill the quota.

Malan Roy Morgan Stokes Buttler are the danger guys but the problem is they bat deep as well.  In a high pressure game a side like this will come on top.  Bowling is their weakness & should be exploited..  Only one among Archer & wood will play I reckon.  

All 4 played and lost to India in England last time. 

 

Never underestimate the Indians. 

 

Indians are top class t20 side.
