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

[Ab Fan]

Massive SIX from Rishabh Pant

 

[Justcrazy]

BOOOM

SIX By Pant

 

[ex-q-zit]

Pakistan already does. Sharjeel Khan and Fakhar Zaman are similar players.

Sharjeel yes but Fakhar a definite no. Fakhar has long been found out on international stage. Rizwan and Sharjeel can open for Pakistan with Babar at 3.

 

[Mesozoic]

Now Kohli playing for his 50.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kishan is a proper T20 hack. Better suited to this format than KL "Poor man's Babar" Rahul.

KL Rahul is world no.3 T20 batsman.

 

[Ab Fan]

Kohli has been treated like an accumulator here

 

[RajBan]

Kishan is a proper T20 hack. Better suited to this format than KL "Poor man's Babar" Rahul.

KL and Babur are completely different type of T20 batsmen. Can't compare their styles as well as roles.

 

[Mesozoic]

Couldn't watch Kishan live.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit sharma will return and screw this line up.lol that is the problem.

 

[Rajdeep]

This will be a nice and healthy competition between Pant and Kishan in T20s.

No competition. Ishan Kishan is in the side as back up opener and not as a WK batsman. He is not even regular keeper for his state team Jharkhand. Pant is the preferred keeper now in all formats.

 

[Justcrazy]

India have been coming back after poor starts in last few series , they have done exactly the same here

 

[Bilal7]

England need to drop Stokes for Ali and T. Curran for Wood in the next game. They've been poor today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oh my god. That was an absolutely utterly tripe rank long hop. Why did Kohli take single of it instead of depositing in the stands

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit sharma will return and screw this line up.lol that is the problem.

He will take Rahul place .Rahul is not playing his natural gake

 

[Romali_rotti]

With bats like Kishan, Pant etc, no ground is big enough, they are clearing the ground easy and going 2 to 3 rows into the stands on the biggest ground in the world... This is ridiculous

 

[Kroll]

Garbage batting by England last 10 overs, have basically handed it to India at half time. Garbage bowling to boot as well. England feeling sorry for India after the first match? Wanna keep their IPL buddies happy?

 

[Ab Fan]

In T20s, Kohli can officially retire, we don't need him. Give the captaincy to Rohit and Shreyas/KL can play his anchor role.

Rohit(c)
Kishan
KL/Shreyas(v/c)
Pant
SKY
Pandya
Jadeja

 

[sindhiboy]

An Ishan and pant partnership will be an exhilarating display.

With rohit and jadeja coming back, this Indian t20 batting line up will be very scary.

 

[Justcrazy]

With the depth in Batting that England have they need to get to minimum 180 ever time they bat

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli vs leg spinner is always circumspect.

 

[Saurav]

Rohit sharma will return and screw this line up.lol that is the problem.

We might have Rohit and Kishan opening if Rahul keeps failing

Hopefully this knock also ended Dhawan's T20 career

 

[Ab Fan]

Couldn't watch Kishan live.

You missed a very entertaining knock

 

[jnaveen1980]

Garbage batting by England last 10 overs, have basically handed it to India at half time. Garbage bowling to boot as well. England feeling sorry for India after the first match? Wanna keep their IPL buddies happy?

India wanted to make IPL ENgland buddies happy in the first T20. so they are returning the favor lol Nice logic there man.

 

[King_Kohli]

Can someone remind me the last T20 series India lost? Think against Eng in 2018. We are super consistent on this format.

Last T20 series India lost

Away
2017 vs WI - Lost (1-0)

At Home
2019 vs Australia - Lost (2-0)

Last T20 series India lost against England happened under Dhoni
2014 (1-0) Lost
2012 (1-1) Draw
2011 (2-0) Lost

 

[Mean&Green]

Have always said this ishan Kishan is the real deal he should have been in the team 2 years ago. Rishabh pant is going through a purple patch but he is nowhere near the potential that ishan kishan has he will still throw it away more often than not but ishan kishan is proper proper batsman and an extremely high quality and skilful one

 

[Saurav]

In T20s, Kohli can officially retire, we don't need him. Give the captaincy to Rohit and Shreyas/KL can play his anchor role.

Rohit(c)
Kishan
KL/Shreyas(v/c)
Pant
SKY
Pandya
Jadeja

Both aren't a patch on Kohli in pressure situations

Agree about captaincy

Don't need Rohit either. Keep T20Is for younger players.

 

[Mesozoic]

Smack....

 

[Rohan]

India wanted to make IPL ENgland buddies happy in the first T20. so they are returning the favor lol Nice logic there man.

LOL, His name rhymes with a word though.

 

[Mesozoic]

You missed a very entertaining knock

Yeah.

Have to catch the highlights tomorrow.

 

[Rajdeep]

Thanks...its an impressive record. India is easily one of the most consistent T20 sides in the world even though we dont always plays our best XI on this format. Only an ICC trophy is missing

 

[Devadwal]

Garbage batting by England last 10 overs, have basically handed it to India at half time. Garbage bowling to boot as well. England feeling sorry for India after the first match? Wanna keep their IPL buddies happy?

Sometimes give credit where is due .indian bowlers bowled well in death over's & Indian Batsman playing attacking game here. Why some pakistani Fan's always think about conspiracy ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli tries to play attacking T20 cricket with conventional shots. It doesn't always come off.

 

[Mesozoic]

Good to see our T20I batting lining up nicely before the big event unlike 2019.

 

[Ahmed216]

My God that was four was one of the hardest hits I've ever seen

 

[RajBan]

Have always said this ishan Kishan is the real deal he should have been in the team 2 years ago. Rishabh pant is going through a purple patch but he is nowhere near the potential that ishan kishan has he will still throw it away more often than not but ishan kishan is proper proper batsman and an extremely high quality and skilful one

Lol. Pant is different while Ishan is different. Both are needed in the T20 line-up.

 

[pillionrider]

This will be a nice and healthy competition between Pant and Kishan in T20s.

Battle of the IPL hacks?

 

[Saurav]

Out

Good quick knock

 

[James]

England have made way too many mistakes today in every discipline. They are in danger of getting a bit of a hiding here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pant is a better player against raw pace than Isan.

 

[RajBan]

My God that was four was one of the hardest hits I've ever seen

Check some highlights from Yuvraj and Dhoni's peak days. You will see how hard they used to hit.

 

[Mesozoic]

Excellent cameo from Rishabh.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Once again Pant threw his wicket away.

 

[Ab Fan]

Both aren't a patch on Kohli in pressure situations

Agree about captaincy

Pressure situation in T20s?

 

[BreadPakoda]

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.

Disagree. A 40-50 gives lot of confidence.

 

[Ab Fan]

Brilliant from Pant. This is how you play T20s. Selfless batting!

 

[Devadwal]

People say now pant only score 26 but he played match winning knock just like Kishan .26 of 13 ball is good score

 

[jnaveen1980]

India rarely plays T20 liket his lol THey take it slow in the middle overs.

 

[Mesozoic]

Where is sky?

 

[Last Monetarist]

England are about 25 runs short on this pitch, it was always going to be immensely difficult defending a below par score with the dew around.

 

[jnaveen1980]

People say now pant only score 26 but he played match winning knock just like Kishan .26 of 13 ball is good score

India's idea of saving wickets in the end is a cardinal sin in T20. This is the right approach.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Could have given Surya a chance to bat above Iyer.

 

[Saurav]

Pressure situation in T20s?

Yeah why not.High chases in knockouts

 

[Mesozoic]

India C beating full strength England (barring wood) comprehensively...

Credit goes to IPL.

 

[Ahmed216]

Got to pick right balls to hit rishabh. Inexperience showing there but he's some talent and will improve on this aspect very soon

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli is likely to bat through here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Brilliant from Pant. This is how you play T20s. Selfless batting!

He is repeating the same mistake over and over again. He should learn to finish the inning like Dhoni/Yuvi/Raina used to do it.

 

[Devadwal]

India's idea of saving wickets in the end is a cardinal sin in T20. This is the right approach.

Yes I'm never forget rahane inning of 2016 Wt20 semifinal where he scored 40 runs of 35 ball which cost India game .192-2 was india score which should have been 215-5

 

[King_Kohli]

Thanks...its an impressive record. India is easily one of the most consistent T20 sides in the world even though we dont always plays our best XI on this format. Only an ICC trophy is missing

Other day I was saying same thing.
We never took T20 as a serious format, always using as an exterminate platform.
Our record is impressive.

 

[Saurav]

50 for Kohli

KING

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Kohli smashes Curran

 

[Devadwal]

King is back

 

[Titan24]

Shot of the match for me.

 

[pillionrider]

What a shot.



Calm down - Kohli says to all those who've been needlessly excited

 

[praveen]

No greater joy than seeing kohli classic. And it’s not Pant vs Kishan , it’s Pant and Kishan.

 

[Romali_rotti]

ANd thats game, off to bed.... Night all..

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 22 runs in 30 balls. RRR: 4.40

 

[dravidthewall]

King Is back....

 

[Mesozoic]

Safe to say (thankfully)/we may have seen the last of..

Shikhar Dhawan
Manish Pandey
Kedhar Jadhav
Sanju samson

In T20Is

 

[Saurav]

Needed SKY there ahead of Iyer

Pant had already brought the RRR down

 

[Ahmed216]

Wicket does get better for batting in second innings. Happened last game as well

 

[Saurav]

Safe to say (thankfully)/we may have seen the last of..

Shikhar Dhawan
Manish Pandey
Kedhar Jadhav
Sanju samson

In T20Is

Dhawan will be back in name of 'experience'

 

[Devadwal]

This Indian team have lot of batting depth if pandya can ball full over .3 wicket falls already and virat & iyer still batting while SKY & Pandya yet to come. Scary lineup .

 

[Saurav]

That looks out

 

[Devadwal]

Not out but very close

 

[Mesozoic]

Umpiring remains pathetic.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Even commentators is convinced it was clear out
Pathetic
Umpires looks afraid to give anything against kohli
Rozi roti ka sawaal hay

 

[Ab Fan]

Safe to say (thankfully)/we may have seen the last of..

Shikhar Dhawan
Manish Pandey
Kedhar Jadhav
Sanju samson

In T20Is

Samson is also good for T20s if played at top order.

 

[Mesozoic]

I'll lose it if Kohli gets the MOTM ahead of Kishan.

 

[RajBan]

Even commentators is convinced it was clear out
Pathetic
Umpires looks afraid to give anything against kohli
Rozi roti ka sawaal hay

The close up with parallel frames showed couple of mm inside.
