The five-match T20I series between India and England is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, January 22 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Men in Blue, reigning T20 World Cup champions, aim to maintain their dominant form as they return to action at home.
Suryakumar Yadav will continue to lead the Indian team, building on his stellar captaincy record, including a resounding 3-1 series win in South Africa last year. With a mix of experienced players and young talent, India will be eager to showcase their prowess against a formidable English team.
India last faced England in the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024, where an all-round performance ensured a convincing victory for the Rohit Sharma-led team.
Venue wise, Eden Gardens holds a special place in T20I history, with its electrifying atmosphere and memorable matches. The venue’s highest T20I total, 201/5, was set by Pakistan against Bangladesh during the 2016 World Cup. India’s best performance here is 186/5.

Eden Gardens Presentation Report:
The iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata is famous for its fast, bouncy pitch, which offers a balanced contest between bat and ball.
Fast bowlers can expect to find some early movement with the new ball, taking advantage of the light grass coverage and bounce on offer. Swing and seam movement will be crucial in the initial overs, making it difficult for the batsmen to aim. However, as the match progresses, the pitch is expected to become more batsman-friendly. Bounce and carry will remain consistent, allowing batsmen to execute their strokes with confidence.
