India (166/3) defeat England (164/6) in the second T20I to level series 1-1

[MenInG]

Time : 1:30 PM GMT, 7:00 PM LOCAL


An all-round performance from England saw them register a comprehensive eight-wicket win over India in the 1st T20I, chasing down 125, with 27 balls to spare.

So an embarrassment for India but as we have seen in the Test series, they are quite capable of making a comeback, so expect a strong fightback today in the 2nd T20I

did you just drop Kohli

 

[Ab Fan]

Kohli should be rested for the all-important test series coming up in England. He is going through a rough patch and we need to test our bench strength. Let's do it in this series.

T20s are not about big names but game changers. Last time we went with this theory and we won the T20 world tournament. So, let's give everyone as many chance as possible.

Instead Kohli should use these relatively useless T20s to regain form at international level.

Bhai T20 me time hi kaha rehta form wapas laane ka.. He shouldn't ponder about these T20 matches, let the kids showcase their talent and he can focus on tests and next ODI World Cup.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Our LOI sides are no match for England. Another thrashing coming up.

 

[OMB]

Right now, the English have an absolute stunning top and middle order with Buttler, Roy, Malan, Bairstow, Stokes. Difficult day for Axar Patel and Saini/ Bhuvaneshkumar/W. Sundar.
Only way India can win this is to outbat by racking up a huge score and allow Indian bowlers to create pressure.
and "Win toss" for starters

 

[Manunited18]

England will be to strong again.

Kohli should be rested from IPL which comes before WTC final and Eng tour.

 

[Hasan123]

Don't see England making any changes. India will probably make a change or 2.

 

[nextover666666]

England should win this and be up 2-0

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Ishan Kishan and Sky to debut today. They were handed their India caps.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

We won the series that mattered - the test series. England looking for moral victories here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Ishan Kishan and Sky to debut today. They were handed their India caps.

Who are they replacing?

 

[Rajdeep]

We won the series that mattered - the test series. England looking for moral victories here

We would win this T20 series and next ODI series too.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Who are they replacing?

Not sure yet. Will get to know at toss.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

lol Kohli wins a toss for change. India bowl.

 

[Rajdeep]

India won the toss and bowling. Game over for England...lol. Chasing under light will be easy.

Ishan Kishan replaces Dhawan

Sky replace Axar Patel

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Who are they replacing?

Dhawan and Axar out. Kaptaan dropping his mate.

 

[MenInG]

India have won the toss and have opted to field

England (Playing XI): Jason Roy, Jos Buttler(w), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Tom Curran, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid

India (Playing XI): KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal

 

[Hasan123]

SKY gets his debut. Much deserved. Kishan impressed me last season in the IPL, let's see how he does.

Pandya will be expected to bowl 4 overs. Some pressure on him.

 

[Hasan123]

SKY has a calmness and composure about him. Whilst Kishan has a personality and confidence about him which you need in international cricket.

 

[Manunited18]

England will get a monumental total which will be to much for india

 

[Hasan123]

Who are they replacing?

Are you happy they are playing?

I'm delighted for SKY. He deserves his chance.

 

[Ab Fan]

Good news but in a longer run, only one of SKY or Shreyas should be in the team. Good chance for both.

 

[Saurav]

Dhawan and Axar out. Kaptaan dropping his mate.

his mate is Chahal.gets another go

 

[Devadwal]

Finally good team

 

[Saurav]

Good to drop Dhawan

Tough on Axar which also means only 5 bowlers

Also why isn't Deepak Chahar playing

 

[Rajdeep]

Butler gone....B.Kumar strikes.

 

[Devadwal]

Golden duck for Butler .

 

[Saurav]

Wrong decision

missing leg

 

[Ab Fan]

India's long batting lineup:-

KL
Kishan
Kohli
Shreyas
SKY
Pant
Pandya
Shardul

 

[Devadwal]

Wrong decision

missing leg

No umpire call

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Are you happy they are playing?

I'm delighted for SKY. He deserves his chance.

Haven't seen SKY play yet. Happy for Ishan Kishan. Need to explore more options in wicketkeeper batsman department.

 

[Ab Fan]

Buttler doesn't seem much interested in this series. Why? Is something more special to him coming up next month??

 

[Rajdeep]

Good to drop Dhawan

Tough on Axar which also means only 5 bowlers

Also why isn't Deepak Chahar playing

What is your view on B.Kumar? Should he play for us in T20 WC?

 

[King_Kohli]

Good news but in a longer run, only one of SKY or Shreyas should be in the team. Good chance for both.

Shreyas in ODIs and SKY in T20's would be good option.

 

[Devadwal]

Six by roy .

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This Roy guy is such a clean hitter.

 

[Rana]

Jason Roy expressing those Chittiyan Kallayyan with a huuuuuge six off Sundar!!

 

[Rana]

Fakhar Dhawan not playing today?

 

[King_Kohli]

Buttler doesn't seem much interested in this series. Why? Is something more special to him coming up next month??

He is waiting for IPL

 

[Devadwal]

Which one is playing as a Wk ,Pant or Kishan??

 

[Devadwal]

In IPL Roy play like a tailenders

 

[Saurav]

What is your view on B.Kumar? Should he play for us in T20 WC?

He's quality but his fitness is very debatable


I wouldn't want him to walk off during a crucial game

Happened in Pak game in 2019 WC

Chahar and Thakur offer similar to him with Thakur being better bat too

 

[Devadwal]

Good comback by Sundar after 1ball six

 

[Abhilash93]

Kohli making the same mistake in team selection he makes each year with RCB - packing the XI with batsmen.

 

[King_Kohli]

Which one is playing as a Wk ,Pant or Kishan??

Pant

 

[Saurav]

Shreyas in ODIs and SKY in T20's would be good option.

Shreyas was exposed in Aus

 

[Ab Fan]

Fakhar Dhawan not playing today?

Indian TM have given them one last thigh slap for T20s hopefully.

 

[Devadwal]

How can this Ball go for 4 ??

 

[Devadwal]

Roy just slogging blindly here

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Is Hardik Pandya Vice Captain for this game ?

 

[Abhilash93]

He's quality but his fitness is very debatable


I wouldn't want him to walk off during a crucial game

Happened in Pak game in 2019 WC

Chahar and Thakur offer similar to him with Thakur being better bat too

Bhuvi is a much better bowler than Thakur especially in LOIs.

Thakur is mostly cannon fodder in T20s.

 

[Devadwal]

Chahal is such a poor fielder

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

lol Pant trying Dhoni special.

 

[Devadwal]

Hope TM give ishan & SKy all 4 remaining games

 

[Rajdeep]

India is trying many spinners this series considering T20 WC will be in India.

 

[MP2011]

Chahal is such a poor fielder

He is poor in whatever he does on a cricket field.

 

[Saurav]

Bhuvi is a much better bowler than Thakur especially in LOIs.

Thakur is mostly cannon fodder in T20s.

Averages 23 in T20I to Bhuvi's 26.9


Also better bat

Bit expensive but overall better package

 

[Saurav]

India is trying many spinners this series considering T20 WC will be in India.

No they aren't

Dropped Axar while Chahal continues to play

Sundar is also poor version of Ashwin

 

[Saurav]

Is Hardik Pandya Vice Captain for this game ?

Its Rahul

 

[Devadwal]

Averages 23 in T20I to Bhuvi's 26.9


Also better bat

Bit expensive but overall better package

No buvi death bowling is vital for india in upcoming WT20
Bumrah
Natrajan
Bhuvi
Good bowling attack

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

No they aren't

Dropped Axar while Chahal continues to play

Sundar is also poor version of Ashwin

Axar and Sundar are poor versions of Jaddu and Ash respectively.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Lord Thakur bowling...

 

[Saurav]

No buvi death bowling is vital for india in upcoming WT20
Bumrah
Natrajan
Bhuvi
Good bowling attack

What about early wickets?

Deepak Chahar is best in that,even better than Bumrah.So we need that

For death over Bumrah and Natarajan is enough


Anyway Bhuvi doesn't remain fit

 

[Saurav]

Axar and Sundar are poor versions of Jaddu and Ash respectively.

Axar and Jaddu are similar with latter being better bat.

 

[Ab Fan]

ah okay. Man he was talking so much to captain and bowlers. I thought some promotion for the dude.

Yeah, he always talks. Last time in KWK, he talked a lot and both of us got punished because of that

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lol now these two are hitting shots blindly

 

[Devadwal]

Axar and Sundar are poor versions of Jaddu and Ash respectively.

Sundar bowling is very effective in powerplay although he is not wicket taker rather than container

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Axar and Jaddu are similar with latter being better bat.

And a world class fielder.

 

[raashidkhan89079]

This malan guy will surely break the fastest to 1000 runs in t20 record

 

[Saurav]

Sundar bowling is very effective in powerplay although he is not wicket taker rather than container

Ashwin can do both

 

[Ab Fan]

Once SIR Jadeja is back, we will be back to 5 batsman + 5 bowler + 1 Pandya rule.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya bowling

 

[Devadwal]

hardik in powerplay ? Not good strategy

 

[King_Kohli]

Blind umpiring.
That's not wide.
