Yet to Bat : Varun Chakravarthy
The bowling attack of England was not much effective against India. They bowled 8 wickets but, could beat India. Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Adil Rashid, J Overton, Liam Livingstone took 1 wicket each. B Carse was the only bowler who was looking effective to bring down India and hawled 3 wickets after bowling for 4 overs.
The batting line of India was consistent in chasing the ball to the ball with a strike rate of having 6 in the last overs. Only two wickets left Tilak Varma was the one who led the match till the end gave a glorious victory. There were a lot of chances to go with super overs but it didn’t happen. Tilak Varma single handedly performed by giving an effective contribution in winning a team. Completely dominated against England. Even Bishnoi contributed along with Tilak Varma which cannot be forgettable.
On behalf of England the only two players have played better so far. Joss Buttler who made remarkable score in both 1st and 2nd T20 was looking effective. B carse who was selected intentionally in 2nd T20 done his job up to the mark. Rest other player did not come upto the level either in scoring runs or bowling. Joss Buttler did his job as by the captain of England. When the teams effort is lacking,nothing can be done by captain too. The three RCB players were drastically dropped down again. No hopes for the RCB fans on these three players.
