India vs England, 3rd T20I: Will MS Dhoni play in IPL 2027?
The 45-year-old former cricketer was seen at the Trent Bridge, wearing a stylish outfit and relaxing with some of his friends. On the cricketing side of things, the biggest question waiting the fans is whether or not the former Super Kings captain will be part of the side in IPL 2027. Dhoni seemingly kept teasing the fans of the possibility of featuring in the 2026 edition but didn’t play even one match. He missed the first half of the tournament due to a calf injury and had seemingly recovered from the same but didn’t feature in the eleven.

With age catching up and Dhoni struggling with injuries too every now and then, fans can expect that the veteran has already played his final match. However, fans can also expect the legendary keeper-batter to join the Super Kings’ camp in a coaching role.
India vs England, 3rd T20I: How much does Team India need in Nottingham?
Meanwhile, the Men in Blue have been set a stiff task at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham, needing to chase a daunting 202 to level the five-game T20I series. After Jos Buttler got the hosts off to an electric start, Phil Salt took the onus on himself despite starting slow. Salt made a 44-ball 70 before being dismissed by Axar Patel, while Sam Curran chipped in with an unbeaten 41 off only 24 deliveries.
Harshit Rana and Prince Yadav picked up two wickets each, with the latter featuring in his first T20I against England. Nevertheless, he was the most economical bowler, finishing with figures of 4-0-30-2. Team India, who had some fielding lapses in the second T20I, are under pressure as they are trailing the series 0-1. The Men in Blue had lost the previous T20I played at this venue.
