IND vs ENG: Great game For Us, Glad To Have Sealed Series At Edgbaston: Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal is overjoyed that India has won the three-match Twenty20 International series against England at Edgbaston.

India took a commanding 2-0 lead in the three-match series on Saturday after defeating England by 49 runs in the second T20 International.

India got off to a fast start, scoring 49 runs without losing thanks to openers Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant. Following the departure of the duo, the similarly Virat Kohli was quickly removed for one.

As Kohli replaced the in-form Deepak Hooda, the Indian cricket team’s fans were incensed by his recent form slide. India scored 170 runs for the loss of eight wickets due mainly to Ravindra Jadeja’s quickfire unbeaten innings of 46 off just 29 balls.

England was bowled out for 121 in 17 overs while chasing, maintaining wickets at regular intervals. The highest scorer for England was Moeen Ali, who hit 35 off 21 balls, and David Willey, who recorded an unblemished 33. For India, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/15) took three wickets while Jasprit Bumrah (2/10) and Yuzvendra Chahal (2/10) each took two. In the first T20I in Southampton, India had earlier defeated England by 50 runs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three wickets, Bumrah and Chahal each took two, and Pandya and Harshal Patel each took one.

On Sunday, India and England will play the third and final Twenty20 International at Trent Bridge in Nottingham (July 10). The match starts at 7 p.m. IST.
