The last time India toured England four years ago in 2014, the visitors lost the five-match series 3-1. However, the then MS Dhoni-led side did well to win the five-match ODI series 3-1. But lost the one-off T20I on the tour. It was India’s performance in the Tests that had them face some serious criticism.

The right-hander, known for his determination, will be keen to dish out a solid performance this time around.

Man of the Match, Kuldeep Yadav, says it is the perfect start to his first tour in England. Reckons the wicket suited him and he stuck to bowling line and length. Adds further he looked to land the googly in the perfect area and it went well for him. Mentions Kohli and Dhoni guided him well and he is happy to play under them. Ends by saying he will hope to continue his form.
India skipper, Virat Kohli says they were very convincing in this game. He is happy about the youngsters stepping up. Praises Rahul and Kuldeep for the way they played. He reckons Kuldeep's over changed it for them. He feels England scored at least 30 or 40 less than what they should have.
England skipper, Eoin Morgan starts by saying India played really well. Adds further the conditions were good and India fought back really hard. Acknowledges the knock of Rahul. Admits they failed to take all the chances that came to them and they can't afford to do that when they are defending an average total. Ends by saying India outplayed them in this game.
The England bowlers had no answers to the onslaught. The pacers were taken to the cleaners and the spinners, from whom a lot was expected, also could not deliver. Rashid and Willey did bowl well but when you are defending a total which is below par you need everybody to chip in which was not the case for England in this game.
Chasing 160, India lost Dhawan early. Rahul then joined forces with Sharma and the two plundered the bowling. More Rahul than Rohit who was happy to play second fiddle. The duo added 123 in just 71 balls which turned the tide completely in India's favour. Rohit fell 8 shot of his half ton but Rahul continued. He along with Kohli ensured there were no further hiccups. The latter got to his ton while the skipper hit the winning runs in style.
A mockery is what India have made of this run chase and it is courtesy a brilliant ton by Rahul. He walks off to a standing ovation from the crowd. He along with Kuldeep, who took a fifer, has made this English side look really ordinary.
Moeen Ali to Virat Kohli. SIX! India have done it, they have won by 8 wickets. A complete performance from them. Kohli had enough of it as the bottom hand comes into play. The ball easily goes up and over the long on boundary for a maximum.
Moeen Ali to Lokesh Rahul. A flighted ball around middle, KL gets it through mid-wicket. Three more runs required now.
David Willey to Lokesh Rahul. And he has done it! Take a bow, Lokesh Rahul. He has made a few more fans today, without a doubt. A gentle half tracker on leg, Rahul tucks it fine and takes the awaited single. He is pumped and rightly so! Second ton for the classy right-hander in T20Is, perhaps more important for his career. And he dabs to finish off the celebrations.
David Willey to Virat Kohli. A full ball outside off, Kohli guides it behind point for a single and gets to the other end, finally.
David Willey to Virat Kohli. Kohli drives the fullish ball through the mid-wicket region and takes two comfortably. Rahul has to wait for his century.

David Willey to Lokesh Rahul. FOUR! As easy as you like. A length ball on middle and leg, Rahul gets into position and plays the flick. He gets it to the left of Moeen at fine leg as the ball races away to the boundary. Just two more needed for a well deserving century for KL Rahul.
David Willey to Virat Kohli. A back of length ball in line of the stumps, Kohli hangs back and punches it to long on for a single.
