After the first T20I at Chester-le-Street was called off due to rain, India are preparing to take on England in the second game of the five-match series at the Old Trafford in Manchester. 

Led by Shreyas Iyer, India recently suffered a humiliating T20I series defeat in Ireland. Although skipper Iyer and opening batter Abhishek Sharma helped them post a competitive total of 189 runs in Chester-le-Street, an incessant downpour interrupted the encounter, preventing the visitors from going 1-0 up in the England series. 

As the stage is set for the second T20I, here we shed light on India's record at Old Trafford, Manchester ahead of the highly anticipated match.
