India (181/9) defeat England (166) by 15 runs to claim the 5-match T20I series by an unassailable lead of 3-1

There are times when Sanju shows reasons why he wasn’t being preferred under Kohli/Sharma

Just comes across as over confident and plain stupid because of it at times! He missed a run out and then this stupid drop catch running back
 
Hahahahaha sanju fans brigade is hiding Today .

Missed a run out and now dropped a catch and scored Just 1 runs

Cc @Bhaag Viru Bhaag

Maybe he is missing the minnow teams like Surya

If england lose the match than more than england supporters ,Some of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and wannabe fans are going to hurt

Have lost some respect for Indians today. It's a gentleman's game should be fair
I lost all respect for the Indian BCCI since the 2021 Men's T20 World Cup in the UAE. That’s when they started taking unfair advantages—like choosing favorable venues, doctoring pitches, and exploiting cricketing laws to their benefit.
 
@sweep_shot told you, They fluked these 2nd t20 and won the first due to England getting accustomed.

England are a better whoteball and test team then India atm.

Very excited for Ashes this year. It'll be more competitive and unlike India their won't be any drama nor will any one take their shirts off for a rained off drawn game.
COVID cricket fans don't know anything about cricket .

Not a suprised at all .

india lost 3rd T20 just because they were overconfident and taken that Chase for granted

:kp

Agreed. Their cheaters and so are their fans like this village boy over here. @Devadwal
 
Alistair Cook giving his Misbah ul Rubbish views about T20 cricket

Why doesn’t the Pavilion show hire him during the PSL where rubbish T20 players like Misbah talk about the batting techniques of batters like Roy, Hales and Munro
 
England lost in the 1st t20 due to not being used to the conditons.

And in the 2nd t20 it was a fluke win by India due to one hit wonder from one batter.

England overall is the better team. India is bunrah or bust.

Fans got too excited from India winning against a minnow team.

England will probably win this series 3-2 since Indians can't read adil rashid for the life of em.
cricketing knowledge .lol

If criticizing something wrong bothers you, then that’s your own problem, bro. I am an Indian, and I have no shame in admitting that BCCI and Indian cricket have taken unfair advantages.

I still remember when umpire Steve Bucknor kept making wrong decisions against India, causing us to lose a Test match against Australia. Cheating doesn’t build confidence—look at the 2021 T20 World Cup. Playing on the same venue throughout shattered Team India’s confidence, and we ended up losing the tournament. In the last ODI World Cup final, the pitch was changed, yet we still lost.

No matter how much we try to justify these things, deep down, we all know exactly what we’re doing.
 
T20 is all about attitude. Brook showed right attitude. So did DUckett. Pandya for a change showed right attitude towards the end. Abhishek was another dude. First thing you need the skill to play like that. Second thing is to have the mindset. There will be odd collapses along the way. You have to take it on the stride. If you play phattu tuk tuk cricket in the name of consolidation you will just earn "graceful losses" rather than wins. India just has lot of scope to elognate te hitting power with more all rounders. Hope they continue exploring it. No more consolidators like KL Rahul, KOhli
 
cricketing knowledge .lol

:kp
Me being wrong about a prediction for a match thread means nothing.

Learn to speak English and learn to develop the ability to actually engage in a conversation with me rather then pinging me here and their usually running away from me.

I said it here, either ignore and run away like ..... or talk and chat.

Anyone who has a basic understanding of cricket will have the same opinion. Very strange rule, ICC need to look over it

Rana should never have been allowed to bowl. He's definitely not a like for like replacement.

India has no other choice i you look at it. India could have easily replaced Dube with Ramandeep right at the end he could have smashed seamers for more sixes. Then again people will complain.

Like for like is a loose definition. You cannot find like for like players. I don't think even if you scour entire India you can find a guy who bashes spin and bowls dibbly dobbly 130ks. Venkatesh Iyer can smash pacers too. But he is less of a bowler.

A part time all rounder was replaced by a pure pacer. Ramandeep could have been a good replacement as he bowls just like Dube .

I don't blame india but concussion Rules has major flaws and any team can used it .

ICC needs to look at This rule. Team's need to Play with 10 players and a Sub fielder .

:kp
 
its a unreal dominance by team India... most balanced T20I side in the world right now.
They are always most balanced side when it comes to bilateral series. However, when the going gets tough and under pressure during KO matches they will make even mediocre bowler like Matt Henry look legendary.
 
I mean just because Harshit got some wickets, people have started talking. If he would have just gone for runs, would you have even care? No

:kp

Wasn't a medicore bowler like hardik defended 3 runs in balls against Nagin dance team in a World Cup.

BTW this is current World champion team.

Ramandeep can also bat . Dube could have been insantly replaced in the death overs. He can hit seamers for sixes as well. If he had clicked there would have been complaint as well. This is bilateral. I am glad Buttler didn't make a fuss about it. More often than not like for like is hard to find. For instance Jack Leach withdrew due to concussion and replaced by a leg spinner Matt Parkinson. Spinner. But different type of spinner. Then Labuscaghne replaced Cam green at no.8 batting position made a 100 and won the test. Then Chahal replaced Jaddu and India won it after chahal took 3 wickets. It is going to be controversial as long as the replacement performs. Won't be controversial if the substitution fails
 

India Seals Series 3-1 with Fiery Fifties from Pandya & Dube, Debut Heroics from Harshit Rana


Explosive half-centuries from Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube, coupled with a remarkable yet unexpected debut from Harshit Rana, propelled India to a 15-run victory over England in Pune on Sunday, securing the five-match series 3-1.

After suffering a 26-run defeat in Rajkot on Tuesday, India, led by skipper Suryakumar Yadav, was eager to bounce back and clinch the series. However, England had luck on their side, winning the toss for the first time in the series and opting to bowl first.

India made three changes, bringing in Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh for their first appearances in the series. But the hosts were dealt a shocking early blow by England pacer Saqib Mahmood, who scripted history with a rare triple-wicket maiden.

Mahmood struck twice in his first two deliveries, dismissing Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma before finishing the over by removing Suryakumar Yadav, reducing India to a disastrous 13/3. England’s bowlers continued their onslaught, sending Abhishek Sharma (29) and Rinku Singh (30) back to the pavilion and leaving India struggling at 79/5 after 11 overs.

But just when India needed saviors, Pandya and Dube stepped up. The duo launched a stunning counterattack, dismantling England’s bowling attack with an electrifying 87-run stand. Pandya smashed a blistering 53 off 30 balls, hammering 4 fours and 4 sixes, while Dube matched his efforts with a fiery 53 of his own. Their heroics propelled India to a competitive total of 181.

However, India suffered a setback as Dube was ruled out due to a concussion, leading to the surprise inclusion of pacer Harshit Rana as a concussion substitute for his T20I debut.

England came out firing in response, with openers Phil Salt and Ben Duckett tearing into the Indian bowlers, racing to 62 by the end of the powerplay. But just as they looked in control, Ravi Bishnoi turned the tide by dismissing Duckett, shifting momentum in India's favor.

India capitalized on the breakthrough, removing Salt and the dangerous Jos Buttler in quick succession to leave England wobbling at 67/3. The debutant Rana then made an instant impact, dismissing the hard-hitting Liam Livingstone to pile more pressure on the visitors.

Harry Brook tried to reignite England’s hopes with a blistering 50 off 25 balls, but Varun Chakaravarthy ended his stay, delivering a decisive blow. Bishnoi shone with figures of 3/28, while Rana impressed with 3/33 in his debut outing.

Despite England keeping the contest alive until the final over, needing 19 runs with one wicket in hand, Arshdeep Singh held his nerve to dismiss Mahmood and seal a thrilling 15-run victory for India.

Buttler showed some displeasure to the umpires and we can hear more in The coming day's .

It was not the right decision and every Indian fan's know it .

Dubey kabse ball karne laga Bhai? He is just playing as an pure batter.

:kp
 
Samson struggling is a concern. We don't have any proper t20 wicketkeeper bat
Well I actually thought he's better option in odi than in t20i (even after scoring those centuries) and predicted his t20i chances might cost his odi spot.. he's plays better when he's spend some time in the middle and struggles when he has to go from ball one.. not only his batting but his keeping also very poor in this series, issues with Kerala cricket board might take a toll on him..

The substitution didn't take place until after Dube was out... Ramandeep would have been a correct substitution within the regulations, Harshit was clearly not.

Reddy is injured. CLosest like for like in the side. Batsmen who can bowl occasional overs. These are all technical arguments. Shadab replaced by Usama mir in the world cup 2023. One is a specialist leggie. Other one is not. Usama took out Markram and Vander dussen. Shadab scored 43 runs. Almost all teams will pick the best choice that works for the team.

It doesn't matter because it's take some time to feel uncomfortable or know the real situation, so concussion substitute was not a problem but Rana was not a like for like replacement .

So who selects the concussion sub ? I hope its not the team that does it - that would be so stupid. If its the 3rd umpire or match referee - then they need to be raked over the coals on this one. I mean, Rana as a sub bowler for Dube ?? Maybe they should decide on concussion subs for all 11 before the game starts . And honestly, teams if they choose to can take advantage of concussion sub rules . The match referee has to be strict here

Ofcourse team has to select. They will select based on form. You cannot select before hand. If Jaiswal injured and if you have concussion sub as Yuzi chahal that won't make sense.
 
That's why i didn't take some of pakistan fans view seriously because they are crying anything related to Indian cricket team.

They were talking about Saim substitute in the south Africa series and Criticized South Africa board for not allowed the saim substitute.

When they have already supported the wrong decision so why they are crying now? because here india is taking the unfair advantage not Pakistan .

My problem is with the Rules . ICC needs to change the rules. Anyone can use it because this rule has major loopholes.

Ya that is a different argument. Ya this law is absurd given that it has a lot of scope for abuse. There was a controversial comment made by KP i think about Lyon trying to get hit so that he can be replaced or something like. But almost all teams will go for the best possible option possible. Could go for a great fielder. This "like for like" won't work in world events too because they only carry limited number of players. If couple of players are injured what then.

That is not my understanding. ICC rules say - 1.2.7.7 The decision of the ICC Match Referee in relation to any Concussion Replacement Request shall be final and neither team shall have any right of appeal. 1.2.7.8 Once the Concussion Replacement has been approved by the ICC Match Referee, the replaced player shall play no further part in the match.

So, the match referee can reject an option and ask for a substitute. And he is the final authority it looks like. So, the blame has to go to him

On what basis he will reject a guy who has never played an international lol
 
Based on their domestic record, where Harshit is very clearly not someone who fulfills the same role as Dube with the ball.
ICC match referee allowed harshit Rana as Concussion substitute of Dubey .

No one can replaced anyone without Match referee permission .

:kp

And the point is the match referee (who happened to be Indian) has blatantly disregarded the rules in favour of India.
