India lost their first match against England by 8 wickets. The second match of the series will be played on Sunday. Indian team will try to come back stronger and make a strong mark on the field.
At the same time, England team would like to continue their winning order in the second match as well.
India’s limited overs specialist, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were not in their rhythm in the first match. The visitors have completely outplayed the hosts in all three departments.
Rohit Sharma was out of the first playing 11 and Virat and company gone with the likes of KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan at the top. Virat Kohli’s decision to include Dhawan in the team instead of Rohit was completely proven wrong, Rohit Sharma is likely to return to Team India in the second match.
Barring Shreyas Iyer, no Indian batsman could face an England bowling attack led by Joffra Archer and Mark Wood. Pandya and Pant could not detect the pace of the wicket and could not withstand the extra bounce of the ball.
