ENG vs IND Risky Captaincy Choices:
Suryakumar Yadav:
The middle-order batter has not been able to convert his starts into a big one and can be a risky choice for a captain.
Liam Livingstone:
The ferocious batter has been terrific with his quickfire contributions but has the knack of taking unnecessary risks.
Players you should avoid:
Jason Roy:
The opening batter is well past his prime, and his confidence is not the same. He has been the major disappointment in the series, and will be interesting to see if he can make a fighting comeback.
