The Jos Buttler-led team started the T20I series against India with a seven-wicket loss at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on January 22. England scored just 132 runs after being asked to bat first during the series opener. In response, Team India chased down the target with more than seven overs to spare.
"England training in Chennai. Jacob Bethell not here as he's unwell, so he's at least a doubt for tomorrow's second T20," Will Macpherson wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
