India put up an all-round down show in the fourth T20I against England and registered an impressive eight-run victory. Trailing 1-2 in the five-match series, it was a must-win game for the Men in Blue, and they will be happy with their effort. After losing the toss, India were asked to bat first, and they accepted the challenge brilliantly. While openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul couldn’t make much impact, Suryakumar Yadav, in his maiden international innings, smashed a fiery half-century. The baton was passed onto Delhi Capitals duo Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer, who smashed boundaries and maximums in the end overs. India vs England 3rd T20I 2021 Stat Highlights.
