India (223/2) defeat England (188/8) to win 5th T20I by 36 runs; Win series 3-2

[Smbhayi]

Brilliant 4 overs by Bhuvi..

 

[King_Kohli]

Was not certain two wickets in Thakhur overs sealed it.

He went after that over of Shardul where he got 2 Wickets.

 

[Hasan123]

Well bowled by Kumar.

 

[Rana]

Hopefully this is the end of Sam Curran also!

 

[King_Kohli]

Excellent spell by Bhuvi.

 

[Devadwal]

Buvi 4 over 15 runs and 2 wickets

 

[rhony]

Looks like BK and Bumrah opening in the WC. Shardul seems to have booked it too

 

[Hasan123]

Stokes should have come at 4 or 5.

 

[Abhilash93]

10 sixes in 10 balls now

 

[King_Kohli]

Salute to Bhuvi for changing the game

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Stokes gone

 

[PassionForPak]

Bhuvneshwar definitely deserve The MoM, In a series decider where target was more than 220, he did not even concede a single boundary

 

[Smbhayi]

Hopefully this is the end of Sam Curran also!

He was good in England condition.. He was the reason we lost last test series in England..

 

[Rana]

Pathetic innings by Stokes

Length ball, nothing ball!

 

[Hasan123]

Stokes out.

 

[Smbhayi]

Now Nattu got Stokes..

 

[Rana]

What a depressing weekend! England shelled a 2-1 lead to lose both matches after winning the toss!

#MorganOut!!

 

[OldWarHorse]

This has been a proper hammering

 

[Rana]

please give Chahar the last over for his confidence. You can’t lose from here!

 

[Energy]

Not many teams would have made the bold move of dropping Dhawan and Chahal but such is the strength of this Indian team, that even senior players know their worth if they are not performing.

In Pakistan it is opposite. Mediocre, obese, cheats, and average players have the loudest mouths and the board is weak in the knees.

 

[Rajdeep]

What a depressing weekend! England shelled a 2-1 lead to lose both matches after winning the toss!

#MorganOut!!

India winning the series was never in doubt though. I dont remember last time we lost a t20 series...home or away.

 

[jnaveen1980]

spinners are risky under lights. All teams should have a backup seamer.

 

[Hasan123]

A good series win for India. They still have Bumrah and Jadeja to come back. They have options for the World T20.

England may want to rethink their batting line up. Also which bowlers will back up Rashid,Archer, and Wood.

 

[OMB]

Missed this earlier!

Stunner. Todays best moment for me

Ben Stokes is completely wasted at 6 as a batter and bowling part time.

Bairstow in T20’s is an opener.

If he doesn’t open, Stokes bats 4!

 

[Mahee]

India is GOAT T20 team

 

[Ab Fan]

Bumrah
Bhuvi
Shardul
Natrajan
Hardik

 

[Abhilash93]

6th bowler who bowled just 1 over and comes to bat at no. 9

 

[Amjid Javed]

40/6 in last 7 overs

 

[Rana]

India winning the series was never in doubt though. I dont remember last time we lost a t20 series...home or away.

Everything was in favour of England winning this series comfortably, but Morgan’s over confidence was not!

 

[Hasan123]

Great strike from Jordan.

 

[Smbhayi]

India winning the series was never in doubt though. I dont remember last time we lost a t20 series...home or away.

That's not true at all.. Even Kohli said England is favorite to win WT20.. So he consider England is better than India..

 

[JaDed]

What a depressing weekend! England shelled a 2-1 lead to lose both matches after winning the toss!

#MorganOut!!

lol Relax its only a T20 series

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another wicket for Thakur

 

[Rana]

Thakur picking up so many wickets for the statisticians to argue how he is a better bowler than Umar Gul

 

[Smbhayi]

3rd wicket for Thakur..

 

[King_Kohli]

Michael Vaughan

India have adapted brilliantly in this series ... the better team have won ... Add
@Jaspritbumrah93 & @imjadeja to this team in Indian conditions & they are favorites to win the T20 World Cup ... Great series to watch .. #INDvsENG

 

[Rana]

Why were you hiding at number 9 Sam Curran!!!!

 

[Smbhayi]

That's good shot by Sam Curran for 6..

 

[rhony]

Bhuvneshwar definitely deserve The MoM, In a series decider where target was more than 220, he did not even concede a single boundary

He did one to Malan

 

[Rajdeep]

What a shot from Curran. Why would you bat him so low?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Curran 6 on first ball

 

[Hasan123]

Clean strikes from Curran.

 

[Abhilash93]

Thakur picking up so many wickets for the statisticians to argue how he is a better bowler than Umar Gul

Still not convinced with his bowling but has developed some variations and adds good value as a lower order hitter.

 

[jnaveen1980]

400 runs breached for today. Bhuvi gave 15 runs in 4 overs

 

[Rana]

Thakur cheap wicket specialist

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another 6 by Curran

 

[Smbhayi]

Sam Curran finish it with 6..

 

[Hasan123]

Great finish from Curran. I hope CSK use his batting in the IPL.

 

[Mesozoic]

Lol Thakur's figures got destroyed in that over.

 

[Rana]

Shreyas ready to do a little spinneroonie break dance as he may have secured his spot for the next series

 

[jiduguravindra]

Hopefully this is the end of Sam Curran also!

Two sixes at the end, books his spot for next series.

 

[Rajdeep]

Surya Kumar Yadav - India's biggest positive from this series.

 

[rhony]

India deserved victors. English failed to chase twice in favorable conditions. Their middle order isn't as strong as they claim. They probably have the best bowling attack though.

 

[King_Kohli]

India winning the series was never in doubt though. I dont remember last time we lost a t20 series...home or away.

India's last Six T20I series:

Won vs Ban
Won vs WI
Won vs SL
Won vs NZ
Won vs Aus
Won vs Eng

 

[Mesozoic]

Thakur cheap wicket specialist

Wickets of Morgan and Stokes at a crunch time just in the last game. Go out and get some air now.

 

[Hasan123]

Great series win for India. They definitely have the potential to win the World T20. Need to get selections and tactics right.

 

[Rana]

Two sixes at the end, books his spot for next series.

Noooooooo

Thakur the gift that keeps on giving!

 

[King_Kohli]

Most Dots in this series:-

55: Bhuvneshwar
54: Archer
43: Wood
43: Rashid
39: Shardul

 

[Smbhayi]

Great finish from Curran. I hope CSK use his batting in the IPL.

They've opened with him last season and had some cameos...

 

[rhony]

Winning last two games after losing tosses. Missing their ace bowler. This is a good templete. Yadav has been impressive. India need Jadeja and Ashwin I think.

 

[Ab Fan]

No surprise. Bairstow never finishes game. Stokes should bat ahead of him.

 

[Devadwal]

 

[OldWarHorse]

England need better lower middle order batting..all 3 games this series they have come unstuck when they lost a wicket around the 14-15th over and the new batsman had to come in and get going

 

[Hasan123]

They've opened with him last season and had some cameos...

Don't think he should open. If we need to accelerate he should come in. He can get going straight away. Dhoni rates him, so I'm sure he will be used well.

 

[King_Kohli]

England's defeats in T20I series since WT20 2016 (2+ mat)

Kohli vs Morgan (3-0)
2-1 vs Ind in India 2017
2-1 vs Ind in England 2018
3-2 vs Ind in India 2021

 

[OMB]

Surya Kumar Yadav - India's biggest positive from this series.

and Ishan, Rishabh Pant too

 

[Smbhayi]

Thakur seems to be a very confident man..

 

[Smbhayi]

Winning last two games after losing tosses. Missing their ace bowler. This is a good templete. Yadav has been impressive. India need Jadeja and Ashwin I think.

I'd pick Ashwin if his counterpart is Washi.. Ashwin as a bowler way ahead of Washington and as a bat both are same (in T20) ..

 

[Mesozoic]

England's defeats in T20I series since WT20 2016 (2+ mat)

Kohli vs Morgan (3-0)
2-1 vs Ind in India 2017
2-1 vs Ind in England 2018
3-2 vs Ind in India 2021

Wow. So they haven't lost a series to any other team?

Lol

 

[rhony]

I'd pick Ashwin if his counterpart is Washi.. Ashwin as a bowler way ahead of Washington and as a bat both are same (in T20) ..

Spinner needs to be attacking. Wash somehow lost his mojo. Chahar is just not good. Chahal seems to be out of sorts. Ashwin can pick witckets

 

[King_Kohli]

Wow. So they haven't lost a series to any other team?

They won 8 consecutive series before this series.
Last time England lost against India in 2018 after that they won 8 straight series.

 

[King_Kohli]

This is the 8th unbeaten T20 series for Team India - streak continues.

 

[King_Kohli]

Kohli played with good SR in this series, matched to Buttler's.

 

[MP2011]

I'd pick Ashwin if his counterpart is Washi.. Ashwin as a bowler way ahead of Washington and as a bat both are same (in T20) ..

Don't think Ashwin is in Indian think tank's LoI plans any longer.

 

[King_Kohli]

MOM - Bhuvi

Form is temporary. Class is permanent..

 

[WengerOut]

Hardik Pandya is the second most economical bowler in the series (6.94) after Bhuvi (6.38). He has taken 3 wickets also. Scored his runs at a SR of 140. Again in top 5. All rounder

 

[Hasan123]

Virat Kohli confirms he will open for RCB in the IPL. So I think he will do this for the World T20. KL Rahul chances looking bleak.

 

[King_Kohli]

Virat Kohli confirms he will open for RCB in the IPL. So I think he will do this for the World T20. KL Rahul chances looking bleak.

Virat Kohli - I would like to open with Rohit Sharma and continue the form till the World Cup.
