Indian bowling was totally dominant and hawled wickets for a total of 132, 5 Indian bowlers bowled 4 overs each and took massive wickets. The projected score was 160 approximately but England drastically dropped at 132. If it was 160+ score it would be little competitive to India

Indian batting line which looks strong and energetic under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav blitz India a victory with the loss of 3 wickets. Without an individual performance Suryakumar Yadav led the captaincy in the top level. All expectations on Mohammed Shami but, Suryakumar Yadav did not give a chance to Mohammed Shami and bought three spinners i.e Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy on to the attack. All these spinners spelled economically and were effective. Pacers includes Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh. No words should be mentioned about Arshdeep Singh who took 97 wickets for just 60 matches. He is an India highest wicket taker. 3 wickets to go to become the fastest 100 Indian wicket taker in T20. All the Indian bowlers were effective against England and gave great performance.

Yet to bat includes – Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy.
Great performance by Abhishek Sharma who scored 79 in just 34 deliveries with a strike rate of 232+ . He massively attacked England’s bowling with 8 sixes and 5 fours who turned the whole match towards India. One can say he was ruler of the 1st T20 match against England with his aggressiveness.
On the other hand England batters were even scared to touch the ball with their bat. England batters were totally panicked which led to drop out at 132. If England gives the same performance throughout the series there will be higher chances of white wash.
England bowling was not up to an extent to win against India. Only Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid who took wickets 2 and 1 respectively dominated in Bowling with their economic spell.
What a performance, the match was totally like India vs weak team. All though England would be a tough and quality team which can give great competition to India but totally dropped against India.
RCB fans disappointed??
Whatever, India wins and England lost, all the RCBians eye’s were on 3 RCB players i.e Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethel. Out of three, two are dug out and Jacob Bethee scored just 7 runs. The total score of 3 RCB players is just only 7 runs. All RCB fans should congratulate this performance 🫡. After IPL auction 2025 the rumours spread in a vast way. RCB batting line up is much stronger than any team, everyone should lost with the performance of RCB for coming IPL 2025. These three England players will be disastering IPL 2025 on behalf of RCB. This rumour might lead the three legendary RCBians to lose confidence and giving worst performance in the 1st T20 against India. Whosoever happened the ability of players cannot be decided in one match. There might be a great comeback in upcoming matches. But the thing is all three players are together failed, not even exceeding the two digit score. The whole combined score too remains in a single digit. At least out of three, if one would have played better. There we can decide the picks done by RCB management in IPL auction 2025 is so selective and excellent. What a coincidence, two are dug out and only Jocob Bethel scored 7 runs. Here All the expectations were dropped. All the RCB fans will be checking the performance of these three RCB players in this T20 series against India. India won the match that’s the happiness .
Again its proved India is much effective and efficient when it comes to T20. Further, let’s hope for a better performance of team India in the upcoming second T20.
