England vs India 2018, 3rd T20I - Indian Team Players' Ratings

India team batsmen kept their nerves in a high-scoring encounter, as they clinched the series 2-1 beating England by seven wickets at Bristol on July 8 (Sunday).

Meanwhile, England posted 198 runs on the board batting first banking on Jason Roy and Jos Buttler’s blistering start. Roy specifically was of top-notch hammering the bowlers all over the park. Buttler and Alex Hales also provided good support, as the hosts looked well in line to reach the 200-run mark.

However, Indian bowlers scripted a brilliant comeback with Hardik Pandya leading the pack with four wickets. In reply, India lost Shikhar Dhawan early. Since then, it was a one-man show from Rohit Sharma with Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya providing good support.

Rohit Sharma was spectacular with the bat bring his third T20I century after Colin Munro. Kohli chipped in with 43 runs while Pandya remained on 33 runs to overhaul the target.

Here are the players ratings:

SHIKHAR DHAWAN (2/10)

Shikhar Dhawan’s poor form with the bat continues, as he departed scoring only five runs. Dhawan’s poor form on this long tour will worry the team management.

ROHIT SHARMA (10/10)

Rohit Sharma was brilliant with the bat playing a match-winning knock of 100. He remained unbeaten smashing 11 boundaries and five sixes.

Rohit was a class apart today playing his shots and dominating the bowler.

KL RAHUL (4/10)

KL Rahul got off to a flier smashing the balls all-round the park. However, he failed to capitalise on the start. KL Rahul departed scoring 19 runs from ten balls including one boundary and two sixes.

VIRAT KOHLI (6/10)

Virat Kohli provided good support to Rohit Sharma scoring a quickfire 43 runs off 29 balls. His knock included two fours and two sixes. His form will certainly boost the morale of the team management going into the long series.

SURESH RAINA (0/10)

Suresh Raina had no role to play in today’s game. However, he has shown good form with the bat which will be helpful going into the ODIs.
