BRILLIANCE SALON SERIES

Rohit for one got off to promising starts in the first two matches - his strike rate above 150 in both games - but couldn’t quite convert his scores of 24 and 31 into bigger ones. India batter Virat Kohli walks back to the pavilion after getting dismissed by England's Richard Gleeson during the second T20 at Edgbaston on Saturday.

BRILLIANCE SALON SERIES

The T20I series against England was one to forget for both skipper Rohit Sharma and batting superstar Virat Kohli as they had minimal contributions with the bat, even if Rohit was once again tactically superior and VK did his part in keeping the team charged up on the field. While one senior was at his lethal best with the ball in hand, the same cannot be said of some of the other seniors in the team, especially the ones in the batting order. Though he may still be a long way off from reviving his Test career, Bhuvneshwar certainly appears to be enjoying playing in the blue jersey at the moment and his roaring form certainly bodes well for the team in their build-up to the mega event Down Under later this year. The impact of his spells was evident in the manner in which he dried up the runs for the hosts, especially during the powerplay while grabbing wickets upfront. Though he didn’t finish the leading wicket-taker, the accolade of which went to England all-rounder Chris Jordan, what really stood out was his average (6.25) and economy (4.16).įor his fantastic bowling performance, bags the Player of the Series award 👏👏 #TeamIndia | #ENGvIND /54YgYpA1m9 The veteran Indian seamer was at his lethal best in the two appearances that he made in the series - at Rose Bowl and Edgbaston before being rested for the series finale at Trent Bridge. There is little doubt over Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s claim as the Player of the Series. With the series drawing to a close, we take a look at some of the key talking points from the three-match rubber: Skipper Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli, both dismissed for 11, were the only other batters to score in two or more digits. Yadav alone contributed more than half of India's runs at Trent Bridge while Shreyas Iyer's 23-ball 28 was the next highest score. It would've been a one-sided loss for the Indians had it not been for SKY's brilliance with the bat on Sunday, the Mumbai Indians batter smashing his maiden international ton and almost single-handedly keeping the Men in Blue alive in the chase until his dismissal off Moeen Ali's bowling in the penultimate over of the innings. Ending the series with a special knock 🇮🇳
