Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips for the 4th T20I of the India vs England series 2025 in Pune
Team India may consider making some changes as their strategy of opting for a long batting lineup hasn’t been effective. The Indian team has struggled with its batting order in the ongoing series, particularly with the underperformance of key players. The lower-order batters have not been used effectively, limiting their potential impact on the game. Additionally, top-order batsmen Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav have been out of form, failing to provide solid starts or build partnerships at the top. Their struggles have placed added pressure on the middle-order and the rest of the team, making it crucial for India to reassess their batting strategy moving forward to ensure better results in the remaining matches.
