Congrats to India on winning the series, I think they deserve this come from behind series win. It was an interesting series to watch as the first 3 games the team batting first went on to lose the games and in the last two games the team batting first won the games. I'm just happy to see Kohli get back into some good form and I think he deserved the play of the series with 3 not outs. Now hopefully he can continue on with this form into the ODI series.

I am also thinking the same. Everyone's contribution was outstanding. Very well deserved victory. It has become a habit for team India, start with a loss, ends with a win. Before this T20 series Virat Kohli form was absolutely going down however now Kohli get back on the track. He knows how to comeback in form and he deserves this Player of the series award.

It was a good series overall and the both teams played well. This only shows that till 4th match it was 2-2 and the final was a complete finale and, on the given day, India was better than England and this helped them to within the series. As mentioned earlier Virat has come in the form now and since he bats up the order as it’s an advantage as team can reach big score as on one end he makes runs quickly and plays a big innings.

^^^ It is a very packed schedule for India, although there is a possibility that the Asia Cup (which is originally scheduled for June 2021) will be postponed to next year. The selectors need to rotate the players (especially the bowlers) in order to avoid burnout. With such crowded schedule, there is a real chance that a lot of the players will face injury issues. The India tour of Sri Lanka will immediately follow the IPL 2021.

The IPL is going to run for two months starting from April. And the T20 World Cup is scheduled for October. Therefore the BCCI has enough time to schedule one or two bilateral series during the gap between the two events. I am doubtful regarding New Zealand, because the government has prohibited the national team to tour foreign nations due to the COVID 19 pandemic. However, inviting South Africa sounds like a good option.

I agree with you. Kohli's decision to bat in replace of KL Rahul was really a timely and perfect decision. And India has seen the team's output very well. India have been able to give a huge target of 225 runs for the great start of Rohit Sharma and Kohli. Also Bhuvneswar Kumar bowled just awesome. As a result, the road to India's victory has become easier.

Another comeback victory for India, they are not playing with their best combination and yet they were able to defeat England and if they play like this then they are the real contenders for the next World cup as it is played in India and once Bumrah and Jadeja returns it will be a formidable bowling combination along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and with Mohammed Shami in the team it will be one of the best bowling attack.

Initially, there was so much discussion going on related to the toss, but England lost the series despite winning the toss 80% of the time (4 out of 5). In the 5th match, what made the difference was Kohli's decision to open the batting in the place of KL Rahul. That gave India a quick start. If Rahul was there, then the innings would have bogged down from the very start, as happened during the first three matches.

Haha It was really a great match today. Even though Malan and Butler tried their best to make a win today but the rest of the squad didn't show any support to them. I think another thing that India realized today is that their bowling does lacks experience. Thakur, Sundar & Natrajan even though bowled good at the end but were not able to break the very important partnership this thing becomes even more problematic in T20s as your prime experienced bowler which was Bhuvi had only 4 Limited overs. On batting I think this should be the new batting line up for India atleast when batting first.

When quality batsmen gets going then every bowler can get pretty much hammered every where. Hardik too went for runs in his first over but once Bumrah-Shami joins the fast bowling squad along with Bhuvi, Thakur, Chahar and Natrajan then it should be fine with the experience and variance.

Koach said that he will open for RCB as well so if he's succeed as opener then its big plus from India's perspective and he want to include more all rounders in T-20 format so Jadeja-Hardik or in some extent Shardul-Sundar-Krunal Pandaya-Axar role would become important for him.

5 Pure batsmen + 1 batting allrounder + 2 bowling allrounder + 3 pure bowlers . With this setup N0 8 can also do a bit of batting for the team and we can get 6 bowling options.

Kohli will be looking to score as much as he can on the important matches for sure but even though he is doing all the time for RCB they failed to enter into the qualifiers but I guess this time they will look to break that curse record oj RCB by atleast entering into the top 4.

India always like to entertain the fans by winning the series after getting defeated in the first game. It looks like a picture perfect ending for the past few series, getting trashed in the first match and then coming back and making it look spectacular as if they are looking for these thrilling matches rather than making it look easy Cheesy

.

The way in which Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled is outstanding when the rest of the bowlers were trashed, if India had their best team then they could challenge any other teams by the way they performed in the last two matches.

As expected, India won the decider spectacularly outplaying England in both the batting and bowling departments.

England could have won this series through the previous match, but they messed up and India continue their unbeaten T-20 series streak. Was especially impressed with Bhuvi and Malan in this match.

The batting from England looked stunning, because the partnership went in a stable manner even after losing early wicket. Malan was the player of the match, and England could've taken this match on their side. Today Malan made a record of reaching 1000 runs in 24 matches which is the shortest of all.

You Commonwealth peeps Tongue

First Hitman, then Surya kumar Yadav's cameo, followed by Kohli masterclass and Kungfu Pandya hitting..

What else you need when Top 4 batsmen perform like this in T-20. Shame that there is no spectators on the stands. England Batting line up has all the ingredients to win the match but big target pressure is always there, Would love to watch Buttler and Malan (especially him) if they gets going. Hoping for cracking chase from no 1 team.

India playing with 6 bowlers today so it should be good contest.

LORD THAKUR!!!!!

I asked him to do the same duo wicket over and he did exactly the same, I was watching the match completely and the credits should also go to the Bhuvi who kept the bowling tight and asked the batsman to take over him which took the partnership which almost lasted for 10 runs if I am not wrong. Surprisingly he was given the man of match for that turn around while Virat took the player of series even though he is at the bad form. Cool

Until now Eng batsmen hitting every Indian bowlers with no mercy and they are still in the contest after the first 10 overs.

Need 107 from 56 balls and with 9 wickets in hand then it is certainly possibly.

Lord Rakur can do the same miracle again and turn the match into Indian side? Waiting for the moment... Grin

England need 83 runs from 30 balls. At the moment there are Dawid Malan and Morgan at the crease. Two very experienced players. Although it seems that the match is completely in the possession of India. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if a miracle happened and England will win.

England gonna loss the match. Once again chasing is going to be unsuccessful in this match. Right now 16 overs past, and England is in need of 81 runs to win the match. In the last four overs England has lost four wickets and has taken just 17 runs. This middle order lag is the reason for the loss.

Your prediction was bang on since Buttler and Malan are stringing together a vital partnership which will most probably decide the fate of this match.

However, I feel like the pressure will make them collapse primarily because of Bhuvi and Natarajan. India seem like they will most likely win the final and the T-20 series unless they mess up royally which I doubt will happen.

Well bhai

I had money on both of em.

Buttler is just fantastic t-20 player and Malan is no 1 T-20 batsman, he's was out of touch in last 4 games but i was rooting for him anyway.

Well match now belongs to India, England seems to losing the momentum. they need couple of blinders otherwise series belongs to India now.
