There's no higher praise on the lips of Indian cricket fans than calling a player the 'new Sachin Tendulkar,' such is the God-like regard in which the legend is still held at home. But 15-year-old Sooryavanshi's achievements so far are that impressive that he's already being heralded by many as one of the future greats of the game. After dominating the IPL, a call-up to the national side was inevitable, and now he'll have up to five opportunities to show whether he can convert domestic form into international success.
Outside the main attraction, this series also sees Shreyas Iyer captain the recently crowned world champions for the first time, while Harry Brook leads England after a grueling test series against New Zealand. Expect sixes smashed, stumps splattered, and a whole load of beer snakes. Keep reading to discover where to watch the England vs. India T20I series, with international options explained.

How to watch England vs. India from anywhere
No matter who your domestic broadcaster is, as detailed above, you'll find that your streaming access is blocked if you try to watch when overseas on vacation or business. Rights restrictions mean that blocks are put in place — a nuisance that a VPN (virtual private Network) can thankfully circumvent.
We recommend NordVPN as the best option out there. You can read our in-depth NordVPN review to find out the multitude of reasons why, but its rapid server speeds, usability, security smarts, and ability to unblock a wide range of streaming services certainly don't hurt. Plus, you can try it risk-free thanks to NordVPN's money-back guarantee that you can exercise within 30 days of signing up.

Who is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi?
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the 15-year-old prodigy who has taken Indian cricket by storm. On his debut in the Indian Premier League last year, aged 14 years and 23 days, he struck a six with his very first ball. Only a few days later, he scored his maiden IPL century from a mere 35 balls. And this season, he was the competition's top run-scorer and MVP. Unsurprisingly, a call-up to the India squad for their white-ball tour to Ireland and England wasn't far behind.
