Ravi Shastri shared his expectations from the confrontation between India and England

The group stage of the T20 World Cup in Australia was over yesterday. Consequently, New Zealand, Pakistan, India and England made it to the playoffs. At the moment, the main favorite for the title is the India national club, but the English team in the semifinals will obviously try to stop the Rahul Dravid’s guys. The battle of the India and England national squads can become the decoration of the event. On the eve, Ravi Shastri shared his expectations from the confrontation between India and England.

The Indian ex-trainer said that India will have to undergo a serious test. Shastri noted that Rishabh Pant should play a decisive role in this difficult semi-final.

“Dinesh [Karthik] is a great team player. But when England or New Zealand are fighting against you, you need a reliable left-hander – this can become an x-factor. Rishabh Pant will feel good against England. I would choose Pant,” Ravi Shastri said.

The contest between  England and India will be on November 10.
