India step onto the County Ground in Bristol this Thursday knowing only a win in the fourth T20 international can keep their hopes alive in the five-match series against England.
Sitting 0-2 down, another defeat would mean suffering back-to-back bilateral series losses in the format.
Vice-captain Tilak Varma's underwhelming run with the bat has placed his position in the eleven under the microscope, and he looks likely to be replaced by Sanju Samson, who could walk back into the side after sitting out the last two games.
Samson, who was named Player of the Tournament at the 2026 T20 World Cup, featured in the series opener before being dropped to make room for 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
