India replaced the out-of-form KL Rahul with bowler T Natarajan in the fifth and final T20I against England in Ahmedabad.
England lost the fifth and final T20 to India by 36 runs. The home side had racked up 224/2 in 20 overs but Morgan's boys could respond with 188/8 in their allotted 20 overs.
Kohli has opened 18 times in IPL since 2018, scoring 595 runs at 37.2 with a strike rate of 142.3 with three centuries and a dot ball percentage of 29.4.
On Saturday, the seniors, Kohli and Rohit, worked in tandem to help India post an intimidating 224 -- India's highest score against England in the shortest format.
Rohit Sharma's blistering 64 off just 34 balls laid the foundation for India's massive total of 224 for two.
Earlier, Kohli, playing as an opener, hammered 80 not out off 52 balls as India posted 224 for two wickets in 20 overs.
Harleen Deol's (52) confident maiden international fifty was the only silver lining for an otherwise lacklustre display by the Indians who posted a modest 130 for 6 after being invited to bat.
Malan, who was under pressure owing to his tally of 79 runs in the first four games with no half-century scores, scored an impressive half-century as a better strike rate to get to the milestone.
Preparing themselves for success in all conditions ahead of the T20 World Cup, India thrived under the pressure of a series-decider to produce their best total of the series.
