The five-match T20I series opener will be played on July 1 at Chester-le-Street, and Pujara predicted that the Men in Blue are expected to continue with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson as openers, while Ishan Kishan is likely to keep his place at No. 3.
Abhishek Sharma also delivered when it mattered the most, playing a crucial knock in the World Cup final against New Zealand. Before the England tour, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma dominate ICC ODI rankings.
Cheteshwar Pujara said on Star Sports: “I don't see any changes in India's top three of Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Ishan Kishan. Both Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan will be part of the opening XI for sure.”

The former Test batter also backed Tilak Varma because the left-hander offers flexibility to the team. Pujara explained, “According to me, Tilak is a batter who can surely bat in the top three, but at the same time, he has shown that he can bat at No. 5 and 6 as well.”
Pujara signed off by saying, “With the options that India has, like Axar Patel and then Varun Chakravarthy, who is not an all-rounder, he will be the first choice if India wants to play just one spinner. Washington might get a chance being an off-spinner and all-rounder when there are more left-handers.”
