Two absolute powerhouses of the T20 format will collide when India and England lock horns in the first of what promises to be a fascinating five-match series. India have had a great time in the shortest format in 2024, the crowning moment of that being the T20 World Cup title triumph in Barbados. Post the T20 World Cup, the Men in Blue ushered in a new era in the format with Suryakumar Yadav taking over the captaincy from Rohit Sharma, who retired from the format. Packed with big hitters and some solid all-round performers, the India vs England showdown is sure to be a treat for cricket lovers!

Suryakumar Yadav has had a pretty impressive stint as India's T20I captain, winning all the bilateral series so far and he will be more than keen on extending that run. But in front of him stands a mighty England outfit. Captained by Jos Buttler, the England national cricket team can pack more than a punch and obliterate sides on any given day. This series will be pretty crucial, especially keeping in mind the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, that will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. For England, the IND vs ENG 1st T20I 2025 will kickstart the 'Bazball' era in limited-overs formats with Brendon McCullum taking charge of the side for the first time in the shorter versions of the game.

The youngsters in both the India and England national cricket teams will be ones to watch out for in the IND vs ENG T20I series. The last time these two teams faced each other in the shortest format was back in the T20 World Cup semifinal where India had outplayed England, gaining redemption for a defeat dating back to 2022 in the same stage of the tournament, then hosted by Australia.
