England's Joe Root will make his T20 debut in today's match.

India's young and agile T20 side raised the hopes of the Indian cricket fan, albeit just a bit, with a thumping win the first T20 against a rather inexperienced England side in Pune.

Though the architect of the win was an old war-horse Yuvraj Singh, the fact that none of the XI looked out of place and disinterested, unlike certain members during the Test series, must have given the Indian management and the fans a lot of satisfaction.

The home team would like to carry on the momentum into the next game being played in Mumbai and complete a clean sweep of the T20 series.
