Ishan Kishan and Surya Kumar Yadav played huge part to MI winning the trophy multiple times and its good to see them playing for team India who has waited so long for this opportunity and news says that Rohit might be rested for the upcoming matches as well so they are going with KL Rahul even after two horrible performance but its okay because he is capable batsman in t20 format for sure who can convert the good start into big scores like Hitman in ODI.

I am against the idea of resting Rohit Sharma. I think he needs some match practise, especially in the T20 format. The last time he played a T20 match was more than 4 months ago, during the IPL 2020. Ishan Kishan has made his point during the last match and now it is up to Surya Kumar Yadav to showcase his skills. And regarding Rahul, he is like a regular in the Indian team and don't need to worry about the temporary dip in form. I am sure that he'll come back strongly in the upcoming IPL.

IPL is enough to give practice for anyone because the T20 worldcup is scheduled to happen in Oct so if the rest is indeed for him then its okay. Surya Kumar Yadav being remains uncapped for very long time even though he showed his best in the IPL so its time for the selectors to give him some chance and continue the winning streak against one of the international t20 teams like Eng.

If Ishan kishan keep up with his form in next couple of games and 5-6 games of IPL then he could be potential candidate for opener along with KL Rahul and Mayank. Shubhman Gill has no chance, he's way too behind in T-20 format. Shikar need to bring his A game in IPL, considering he's not going to get any chance in current series.

Everything will depend on his performance during the IPL. Last time, he was in terrific form for the Mumbai Indians and helped them to win the trophy. Apart from the individual performances, the team performance also matters and that's what happened in the case of Ishan Kishan. If this time also he and his team performs well in the IPL, then he can be assured of being included in the squad (but still not guaranteed of a slot on the playing XI, due to tough competition).

India bounced back strong winning the match easy in the end. I'm not sure we can read to much into the chasing teams winning the matches right now, yes both teams chasing have won but in the first match the total wasn't all that high to chase down and England did it easy. However in this match it was a decent sized total that India were able to chase down easy. I think we'll get a better of idea on whether chasing down totals is a benefit or not in the next match.

By the way, it was nice to see Kohli finally score some runs and to finish N/O will give him confidence in the remaining matches in the series, well we hope.

India is one of the few teams that debuts news players all the time other than West Indies who debuts mainly because their main players are busy playing franchise cricket or they will be having some kind of fight between the cricket board and the players other than that India is the only team that is experimenting with new players all the time and even if Ishan Kishan did not perform well in a few matches they will find an alternative Cheesy

.

My question is, whether too much competition for a position in the team helps building a team or it will hurt them as they will find it difficult to perform as a team in the shorter format.

I disagree. KL Rahul didn't perform in recent matches, but that doesn't mean that he should be benched. He is one of the most consistent players in the IPL from the last couple of years which is why he deserves to be a part of the World Cup squad.

KL Rahul was one of the most exciting batsmen during the IPL 2020. This time also, the World Cup squad will be declared after the IPL 2021, and I am sure that Rahul will be able to perform during that tournament. But there is a lot of competition now for the spot of the opener, especially since Ishan Kishan hit that amazing half-century on his debut yesterday. Kishan, Shaw, Rahul, Mayank, Shikhar, Shubman.etc are in competition for the same slot.

The first two matches the team chasing won the game even though the second match is still going on that is how the series is unfolding and England put on a decent score on the board than India was able to score in the first match and the dew factor might be the reason the bowlers are not able to maintain the grip and the fielders are struggling.

That is a valid point, the team chasing has won on both occasions and if they are playing in the same stadium then i might place a bet on the chasing team as England chased the score even though it was small without much trouble and today India chased it easily.

This is a big match for the Indian cricket team before the IPL season. This match has served as a trailer for upcoming IPL scheduled within few weeks time. Every player made their contribution, which is the best part of the match. This win has also made the series more competitive, because if India had lost this game surely England will have low pressure to win a match out of the remaining three to win the series. Now every match the pressure of winning will be high.

Is the T20 World cup still on, if that is the case then this is a warm up match for them and IPL is just an icing on the cake to test new players and India is experiment with the team and a win made the series more interesting and i hope England will bounce back as they have a really good T20 team and with the defeat in the Test series they will be looking to win the T20 series.

Good to see that Virat Kohli has also regained his form, after so many failures in T20Is.

This is good news for India though he needs to retain his consistent form across all formats since a single good score is not enough to assess his form properly.

As the saying goes, attack is the best form of defense (at least as far as T20 is concerned). In the first match, Indian batsmen were in the defensive mode and they were bowled out for just 124 runs. In the second match, they started badly, but the power hitting from Ishan Kishan made sure that the series is levelled. Good to see that Virat Kohli has also regained his form, after so many failures in T20Is.

Never expected this meltdown from the England bowlers, after the spectacular wicket maiden from Sam Curran. Adil Rashid got Ishan Kishan out, but the same bowler has been hit for a six just now by Rishabh Pant. Just another 54 runs needed from 8 overs, at around 7 runs per over. From now, it should be a cakewalk for India. So essentially, the series is now levelled 1-1. Misfields from the part of England players doesn't help much either.

Correct, it is interesting how the rest of the last 3 matches folds now as India now requires only 5 in 14 balls. Virat is 67 and found is form back. Also, with this win India levels the series by 1-1 which will make it more interesting in last 3 of the games to watch out for. Ishan also supported well and played some big shots for his 56.

RCB used to be one of my favorite teams in the IPL, but their performance during the last edition of the tournament (IPL 2020) was less than satisfactory.

When we talk about Virat Kohli and how he should be moved from his captaincy he is leading the team from the front against England and India is in a strong position to win the match Cheesy

. Regarding his demeanour in the ground he is an aggressive player and as long as India is winning no one will question him.

India just need 20 runs to win from 28 balls.

Oh well, guess KL Rahul is next in line and will warm the bench for the next game along with Dhawan.

Edit after watching Ishan inning (33 runs for 17balls). I have a feeling that he going to win T-20 WC opener race. He's young, good on field and most importantly he's Left hand attacking batsman. Dhawan must be hating him right now.

KL Rahul might sit back and for the world cup Rohit Sharma will be the opener and with the performance by Ishan Kishan he could be his partner if he could play a consistent innings and they need a back up opener if someone is struggling during the tournament. Since there is abundant of talent there can be a backup player for every position Cheesy

A couple of wickets and i still think England could pull a win in the match even though they failed to score above 180 which i was expecting and i am not familiar with the rest of the batting lineup even though have seen some of them play in the IPL.

Till now England failed to pick a wicket after the first one. For England to win from this situation they need to pick wickets and India has a long batting lineup even though some are new players.

Ishan Kishan smoking the England bowlers in his first match. India is having a run rate of 10 right now, and the required run rate is under 7.50 (as someone said, cricket is a game of statistics)... Unless England breaks the partnership between Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan in the next 2 overs, India is going to run away with the match. 17 runs from that Stokes over! I am damn sure that he's not going to bowl again in this match.

The game is very much balance and could shift to any side depending if England is able to pick couple of quick wickets here or India can build a good partnership and this will make easy for them as will have wickets in hand at latter part of innings just if require some hitting in the end. Nice to see Virat slowly getting his form back else was struggling for a while in recent matches. India - 67/1 in 7 overs.

[...] i was expecting at least 190+ runs. So Indian bowlers did fairly good job restricting them under 170 runs and keep taking wickets. Death bowling was terrific today[..]

[+1]^to that^ . They really did well, with that lineup normally after 12-13 overs you will expect a side to grab up the pace and start scoring runs but bowlers put up a magnificent job today to keep their batsman at bay in the overs where they might start scoring. Right now 131 runs needed out of 90 balls.. hmm not that bad considering we have Kohli and Kishan on crease.

I am actually rooting in for Kohli here. Guy have been out of form for quite sometime and you know critics.. time to shut them.
