India vs England 3rd T20: Match review
India’s top order failed totally in the match. Opener Rishabh Pant (1), Virat Kohli (11) and captain Rohit Sharma (11) returned without contributing much. After this SKY single-handedly kept India in the match. Surya Kumar Yadav got out on the fifth ball of the 19th over.
In the match, the Indian team made four changes in the playing XI as an experiment after winning the series. Ravi Bishnoi, Umran Malik, Shreyas Iyer, and Avesh Khan had included in the team. While, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, and Yuzvendra Chahal gave rest for this match.
Umran Malik, playing for the first time on English soil, dismissed Jason Roy. Jason proved to be a complete flop in this series. Even in the last match, Roy could not do anything special. He wanted to send the ball going outside Umran’s off-stump, but the ball took the edge of the bat and wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant took a simple catch. Jason Roy was out for 27 runs in 26 balls.
England captain Jos Buttler once again flopped in the third T20. He was bowled by Avesh Khan. In the match, Butler’s bat scored 18 runs in 9 balls. It seemed that today Butler’s bat would speak, but he could not understand the ball of Avesh and lost his wicket.
