Jul 4, 2026 06:48 PM IST India vs England 2nd T20I Live Score: What did Shreyas Iyer say at toss We are going to bat first again. (Team changes?) One change, Vaibhav (Sooryavanshi) comes in for Sanju (Samson). (An amazing story.
He's about to become India's youngest debutant.
Is he ready?) Absolutely.
You've seen him in the last couple of months, the way he's been smashing the ball, taking on the best of the bowlers, shows immense confidence that he possesses. (Have you felt the significant pressure to play him?) Not really.
I feel that he completely deserves to be in the squad the way he has performed in the last couple of months and years.
He's someone who doesn't take pressure at all.
The way you see him inside the dressing room, he's got that unflinching nature.
And so good to have him around. (Is it part of your role as captain to help him deal with the unique pressures that come with being a player for India?) I'm sure he's very well aware of what's going to come in these matches.
And as I mentioned, that he's got a calm demeanour.
He doesn't take pressure at all.
And the way he bats in the nets, the way he takes on the bowlers in the nets, literally shows that what sort of character he is. (From the World Cup winning T20 side now, the captain has gone and the player of the tournament no longer in the team.
Is that a reflection on the tremendous competition for places that you have?) Well, absolutely.
You see the competition.
It's game after game like the amount of talent India produces over the last couple of months and years.
I think it's pleasing to the eye and also it keeps us especially on the toes as well throughout the series.
Because pressure is a privilege, I feel.
And if you perform under pressure, you reap the benefits as well.
