India vs England: Team India shifts focus to limited-overs cricket, ready to face England in a five-match T20I series starting January 22. Under Captain Suryakumar Yadav, India has dominated T20 cricket, winning eight of nine series since August 2023.

This series promises fierce competition as both teams aim for victory.
